A recent Emerson College and The Hill poll shows the key issues in Wisconsin are the economy, threats to Democrats, immigration and health care. All were in the double digits in terms of poll percentages.
Trump hit on the economy at his rally, saying he would end inflation on day one of his administration and “make America affordable again.”
Wisconsin is part of the Democrats so-called blue wall. Democrats believe if Vice President Kamala Harris can win Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, she will win the presidential election.
The RealClearPolitics average of polling shows Harris up by .8% in Wisconsin, 49% to Trump’s 48.2%. In other words, margins between the two are razor thin.
