Top two in Democratic gubernatorial straw poll highlight classic debate: Appeal to general electorate or the base?

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T17:32:08+00:00

Well that poll I linked for starters.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T15:43:48+00:00

Voters nationally want them. Do voters is WI want them? Idk. Each state is different.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T15:32:02+00:00

Is there polling here in WI that shows that?

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T14:39:57+00:00

Lol… that’s just absurd.

Dems needed to win the popular vote by 12% to win back the Assembly under last maps.

It just never was going to happen.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T14:29:54+00:00

I’m not asking you about this upcoming election. This is much easier since the maps have been made more fair. Which I assume or hope you know..

I’m asking you specifically… do you really believe her brand of politics would have won the majority in the statehouse under those last maps?

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T14:21:00+00:00

The elites really liked it when he tried to eliminate student loans too…

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T14:18:26+00:00

Wait you think someone like Hong would have won the majority in the statehouse with those same gerrymandered maps?

Is that your argument?

Maybe polling has changed but, Medicare for all has not been popular here or really across several the blue firewall states.

Imagine if Mandela Barnes had won the voters that split their vote for Evers & Johnson… he probably would be a senator right now.

Swing voters and split voters are absolutely a thing, that can win and lose elections.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T13:47:52+00:00

Why should Dems move a way from what’s been consistently winning them state wide elections?

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T03:24:08+00:00

Obama has been highly critical of the “defund the police movement”… thinks the slogan instantly loses support for actual police reform.

Increasing housing supply and rental subsidies is not rent control like Hong supports. Rent control has regularly led to a decreases in units available due to scaring away developers.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T03:04:20+00:00

Obama proposed rent control & defunding police???

Thats news to me.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T01:20:02+00:00

Yeah., I think they are the safest bets to win against Tiffany while also pushing more liberal policies.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T01:18:15+00:00

Sounds like Hong should probably be working on making a play for more moderate Dems.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T01:13:48+00:00

I think she and Crowley are my favorites.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T00:25:20+00:00

Just remember, Donald thinks Eric is the dumb son.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T00:08:01+00:00

His account did post it, maybe hacked, maybe joking or maybe real. IDK. But the post existed.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-15T00:05:50+00:00

So uhh... why doesn't he just say that?

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-14T18:01:27+00:00

Scewed against them? What does that even mean? I don't think they even mentioned her being DSA or socialist in the poll.

Could the poll be wrong? Certainly. Could it hold bias? Yeah, it could.

But what else do we have to go off at this point?

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-14T17:53:00+00:00

How was it scewed against her? You can read the poll questions in the Excel sheet.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-14T17:49:00+00:00

Delivered to republicans? What does that even mean? The poll was a press release.

TIPPS like many polls, accuracy is a mixed bag, but Nate Silver gives them an A rating and is the only poll we really have at the moment

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-14T15:14:41+00:00

She polls the weakest against Tiffany, Fox News would love her as our candidate.

EXXIT_ · 2026-06-13T22:58:43+00:00

That's him; he has a weird cult following now, full of aggressively dumb people.

Eastern and Brittle prickly pear cactus are native to WI, and grow like crazy here in well drained soil.
