Trump bleeding support from rural men in Wisconsin

Former President Donald Trump is losing support from a group in Wisconsin that used to support him strongly: rural men.

In the key battleground state of Wisconsin, rural men make up 19% of registered voters. An analysis of polling from 2020 to 2024 from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, however, shows Trump is losing that base support. The analysis of the Marquette University Law School polls uses “net favorability,” which takes the percentage of registered voters who view the candidate favorability and subtracts those who view them unfavorably.

In 2020, rural men in Wisconsin supported him by +29, but in 2024, his support among rural men fell to only +2, a drop of 27 percentage points. Support from white men without a college degree, another key demographic for Trump, also fell from +15 favorability to -5. Among white men with a college degree, support is down from -5 to -28.

Republican voters overall are also not as uniformly favorable toward Trump in the state as they once were. The analysis showed his fall in support from the party is consistent with a pattern seen in Republican primaries: with 10-20% of the vote going to former presidential hopeful Nikki Haley. In 2020, Trump had a +71 favorability rating, while in 2024, that has dropped by 20 points to +51.

In the once-Republican stronghold “WOW” counties, the suburban counties of Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington that border the Democratic stronghold of Milwaukee County, support for the GOP is falling in the Trump era. Since 2020, support in these suburbs has dropped from +7 favorability to a neutral stance.

The group in the state Trump lost the most support from was young voters, those under the age of 30. In that demographic, his unpopularity increased from -28 to -43.

In four years, Trump’s ratings may have increased among nonwhite voters. While white voters make up 84% of registered Wisconsin voters, Trump is seen more favorably among nonwhite voters while still having an overall unfavorable view. In 2020, he had a -43 favorability rating, but in 2024, he is now at a -18 favorability.

Even small changes can be crucial as the presidential election is expected to be close in Wisconsin. In 2016, Trump flipped the state red by a little more than 27,000 votes. In 2020, President Joe Biden flipped the state back to blue by only 20,000 votes.

I've been highlighting the fact the past 2 months that in the GOP primaries that there is a consistent, persistent, and pesky 15-20% of voters who are  going out of their way to vote for "other". 

Trump, and his handlers are making no secret of the left populust shift,, versus the 2016 and 2020 versions.   Can Trump win with a nice share of conservatives staying home, or only voting down ballot? 

LMAO:
And then there’s Dane County with the People’s Republic of Madison and my county of Douglas County that will go Democrat along with Milwaukee county

If this poll is accurate, there’s no way Trump is going to take Wisconsin.

DefiantMassRINO:
Support for Trump is melting away like an ice cube in Summer.

A passing thought ...

A convicted Hell's Angel was sitting in the courtroom with the Red Tie Gang to show support for Tangerine Mussolini.

Since Trump burned his bridges with the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, is he lining up biker gangs to be his thugs and enforcers?
