Wisconsin seems like a fairly intelligent state.  Why do they put up with this nut job?  Aren't the residents embarrassed by him?

He was Elected at the same time Scott Walker was in 2010, and he didn't  align himself so tightly to Trump until Insurrectionists

Wisconsin is an extremely divided state where results pretty much come down to turnout. Johnson ran in favorable years for his party, which 2022 seems more likely than not to be.

Midterms curse is going to make this seat difficult to flip for either Barnes or Godlewski. Both are good candidates, Barnes seems to have more obvious baggage but Godlewski is relatively unknown in the state and could be extremely damaged by any GOP-run propaganda. Look at what happened to Feingold, a previously respected and former U.S. Senator, in the last weeks of the 2016 campaign.

These candidates are both excellent individuals (and some of the other candidates are quite good on a local level as well), but they aren't candidates who have the special quality to win against Johnson in a midterm.

Everything you say is correct, but I wonder if RJ has shot himself in the foot with his comments since last year.

I'm unfortunately much more pessimistic on the future for Dems we have in WI. Dane's growth is promising, and Milwaukee continuing to trend D is nice, but I'm worried that the entire strategy hinges on suburban trends that may or may not be able to make up for Dems losing support in nearly all of the western part of the state. It doesn't really feel like winning when a Democrat just barely wins with only seven counties, which seems to be where things are headed.

Barnes lying about his college degree is something unexpected to me that will certainly hurt his prospects, despite how seemingly unimportant the issue is. If Godlewski is the nominee, there seems to be another potential scandal of her campaign misleading people about her having a master's degree. Also the fact that she lived in DC right up until moving back to WI to run for treasurer: that alone could be a campaign-ender in the general.

Biden approvals are 52/48 the same Approvals on Election night, the only reason why Ds are underdogs in the H is because in 2020 we had 230 seats  not 220 the only polls in this state was 48/44 Evers and Nelson, stop saying WI is leaning R and Tammy Baldwin won by 10 pts

I think this analysis is completely incorrect. In 2018, Tony Evers barely won whereas Tammy Baldwin substantially overperformed his performance. Wisconsin voters seem to be the definition of swing voters. Ron Kind also has substantial overperformances. If Wisconsin "pretty much came down to turnout", you would not see candidates doing substantially different in the same election cycle.

2022 isn't an R favorable environment when Biden is at 52 percent and typically like Trump a Prez party loses seats in Midterms at 44 this per Gallup

D's are up nine pts in AZ, CO, PA and up 48/44 in WI that's not an R wave when Rs haven't lead in a single poll but FL and MO and NH is 4 mnths old already

Trump lost the H when he was a 45 percent Prez

That's why James Carville has put his input on MO and Jay Nixon, he is actively recruiting candidates, he said from say one before cycle he would recruit Demings and we haven't seen any polls outside that inflated 20 pts, Rs are the Favs in Red states but upsets happens

Welcome to the wonderful world of rural/urban polarization!  Here in PA, we have a population 223% the size of WI, and Biden won 13 of 67 counties when barely winning statewide.  It's rather depressing to be a rural Dem these days.    Sad

Johnson's certainly fundraising as though he is running. Lean R either way.

Rassy tracking polls show that Biden is at the same exact Approvals as he was on Election night meaning WI Leanss D the only polls out of WI had it 48/44 unless we see a PPP showing D's loosing WI it's a Lean D state

It's funny to me users can trust Sununu up by six and in the same time frame Nelson and Evers were up 48/44

Will the Bucks Victory make any difference to this race given that their vice president Alex Lasryis running ?

D's are already favored to win WI and PA, we have zero polls in IA, OH and NC but Biden Approvals are tracking the same as they are on Election night 53/39% now and 51/46%, on Election night, which is a 304 map, a 52/48 Sen and a 218/217 H map is plausible but everything including GA Sen runoff must go right in H for D's in Redistricting pending the Report from the Jan 6th Commission, bit a 217 tie and Lynn Cheney not voting McCarthy Speaker can put D's back in Speakers chair

OH can be won but this is an R seat not a D seat where Brown and Tester would be favored in 2024, if the Election were held today Beasley and Ryan would lose by the same margin Biden lost those states by and FL, DeSantis received a bump from Surfside, he nor Rubio are loosing

Milwaukee Alderman Chantia Lewis has joined the race. Probably would do better statewide then Barnes but doesn't have the resume as a one term inner city alderman.

She should really be running for Lt. Governor to succeed Barnes.
