Elections > Polls

from Battleground Wisconsin · host Brian Wooldridge

We take a deep into the latest MU Law Poll, which finds Francesca Hong and Mandela Barnes distancing themselves from the field. What does the MU poll clearly tell us and what remains unclear and fluid? We look at other Internal candidate polls, which show Francesca Hong with at 35% and 39%, a 20+ point lead over Barnes and David Crowley, who has reentered the race. We also discuss how the headlines about the MU Law Poll misrepresent its findings, and ignore some of its most interesting results. We clarify how the $2 billion Wisconsin tax subsidy for data centers was bipartisan . passing in the 2023-25 state budget with support of GOP Legislature and a Democratic Governor who chose not to line-item vetoed it. We close with a review of Trump Regime impacts in Wisconsin and other States; Milwaukee could be first test case of ICE’s refusal to follow mask ordinance; Trump’s CMS suspends $1 billion in Medicaid funding to Minnesota and California; and Trump’s DOT declares war on “DEI bike lanes” and biker and pedestrian safety. Yes this is for real!
