Wisconsin remains a purple, scrutinized, swing state
The message from this month’s Marquette poll is less than exciting: Registered voters who are polled are generally paying far less attention to the daily drama of politics than all the insiders who expectantly wait for the poll’s results of the Marquette poll every month do.
Wisconsinites, to sum the polling up in brief, are pretty equally divided, politically, independent, mixed on impeachment and don’t feel much different than we did last month. Or the month before that.
None of that makes for very sexy headlines, but there you are. It’s yet it’s where many Wisconsinites seem to be, at according to all the results from the Marquette Law School’s latest poll released last this week. And the results it shows in how closely it mirrors results from the November poll.
The two polls are so similar, in fact, that lead pollster Charles Franklin said as he was preparing this month’s presentation that he had to check his slides and go back and recheck them again because he was concerned a slide was from the previous month.

In the cities, where they don't burn books or crosses, it's a deep, deep blue. (Very typical of most states.)
My wife comes from a large family who is divided also. One of her nephews lives in rural WI and is a leader in the teacher's union. He's as bigoted as his father (who lives on what I call "Triple-K Ranch"
. This nephew has a six-figure salary, which can buy a lot of Tiki torches. Of 80 immediate family members, these are the two who are most likely to throw out the N-word in casual conversation.
Some other relatives aren't that way. They have never said any racial or ethnic slurs to my knowledge and mostly vote Dem. Of course, they went to bigger colleges with a more diverse student population and faculty.
My family doesn't live in the far north. We are in a purple county where not everyone is white as snow. That makes a huge difference. If the people in northern WI had grown up around a multi-cultural society, they would think and act differently and vote accordingly.
