it falls before Michigan falls. Wisconsin is the main tipping point in this election in my analysis.

...if one candidate has consistently polled ahead by double digits?

Asking for an evil friend.

I am cautiously optimistic, but Joe needs to hammering Michigan as often as he can. We MUST win it.

I don't think Michigan was polled this much in '16 and Hillary did sort of take it for granted. But when it WAS polled they found her lead wasn't as big as first though. Trump just took advantage, because what else could he do?

This has good news all over it.

Trump at 39% approval vs 50% disapproval.

Whitmer very popular. BLM popular.
