State Significance

Wisconsin reconfirmed its swing-state status in 2016, when Donald Trump won by an extremely narrow margin of about 22,700 votes over Hillary Clinton -- less than 1%.

President Trump’s victory broke a streak of Democratic candidate wins in the Badger State during the seven previous election cycles. But Wisconsin also broke for Democrats Al Gore and John Kerry by razor-thin margins in 2000 and 2004 respectively.

Republicans in down-ballot races were also gaining ground in the years leading up to 2016 -- particularly among white, working-class voters across the state’s rural areas.

Still, a blue wave centered in the more liberal and racially-diverse cities of Milwaukee and Madison -- as well as more populous college towns like La Crosse and Eau Claire -- could flip Wisconsin at the top of the ticket.
