I like to study United States politics. I take my work deadly seriously.

As a challenger, Mandela Barnes only underperformed incumbent Tammy Baldwin by 12% in a year about 11% redder. So perhaps Baldwin isn't super strong? Or maybe Ron Johnson is just that weak.

La Crosse has more than just a college town. So its margin really varies. Ron Kind was king here. Baldwin pretty strong too.

Marquette is a gold standard pollster, but I am very skeptical that Wisconsin Independents are 60/40 in favor of a national abortion ban.

Ron Johnson's 2016 suburban margins aren't coming back. 2022 was redder than 2016 and yet, Johnson collapsed in the suburbs.

Johnson ran in a red year and couldn't replicate his WOW and BOW numbers. Why would Hovde be able to do so in a bluer year against an incumbent?

The biggest myth about Trump is that he was a competent leader. He was a bumbling idiot who would go on periodic rants about lunatic nonsense.
