Madison sky right now. No filter.

A reminder that only half of Dems wanted Biden to run in 2022-23, and less than 1/3 of independents who lean Dem, 20% of pure independents. No serious challenge to an incumbent not a surprise but this look back also speaks to his current loss of support MULawPoll national polls

Two MULawPoll releases in 2 days so a reminder which is which: WISCONSIN: law.marquette.edu/poll/2024/08/0… NATIONAL: law.marquette.edu/poll/2024/08/0…

Wisc ballot measures: 1. Turnout was high. Virtually equal to 2022 primary record breaker, 1,224,523 unofficially, vs 1,229,501 in 2022. 2. “No” vote very widespread and leading in many normally Republican areas, especially west but also Fox Valley. Weak Yes in Waukesha & Ozaukee

Here's an interesting pattern. The GOP-sponsored ballot referendums did WORSE than the GOP in the Rep-leaning WOW counties and BETTER than the GOP in Dem-leaning Milwaukee County.

In Milwaukee, you can join the community sailing center and sail as much as you want (weather permitting) for less than it might cost to just store a boat thru the winter.
