The Crack Emcee said...: Fuck Nikki Haley. If Trump is not on the ballot, I'm not voting. He's attractive enough to draw blacks to his side, but, as I keep reminding you, regular Republicans are the biggest anchor the party has, dragging the party to the bottom. Blacks aren't going to vote for a bloodthirsty party that wants to fight in Ukraine, and bomb Palestinians, with what should be our reparations money.

The Democrats are going to take it all.; 11/8/23, 4:32 PM
BarrySanders20 said...: My non-poll-tested observation is that the suburban women around here who know Biden is senile but wont vote Trump would vote for Nikki. She'd do well with the women in the WOW counties around Milwaukee and recapture that former 75-80% R base that Trump will never get. I doubt she could hold all of the rest of the new voters outside SE WI who supported Trump though.; 11/8/23, 4:42 PM
Jupiter said...: Isn't she past her prime? I mean, she's still pretty hot, but ...; 11/8/23, 4:43 PM
Fredrick said...: Wow, the Establishment really want's a neocon in the White House in '24.; 11/8/23, 4:49 PM
James K said...: All well within the margin of error. On top of the fact that polls right months ahead of the vote don’t mean much.; 11/8/23, 5:01 PM
Gusty Winds said...: If anyone but Trump is nominated by the GOPe, I'm voting for RFK. What makes Haley more attractive to WI than Trump? She's a NeoCon female to was afraid to take on child mutilation surgeries in South Carolina? NO WAY am I voting for her. Can't imagine I'm the only white male MAGA asshole with an RFK exit strategy.

There will be MAGA defections after all the bullshit.

They're gonna tell us anyone but Trump can beat Biden. And then they'll voter fraud the GOPe nominee. GOPe Republicans are PUSSIES. Except when it comes to dropping bombs on people and financing wars. Then they think they're Big Men on Campus.

The Wisconsin women who raised me are all in heaven now. They raised the men in our families to be hard working alpha-males who take care of business. There is something really fucked up with the current lot.; 11/8/23, 5:08 PM
Gusty Winds said...: If the angry women of Wisconsin and the beta males they dominate want to burn the house down, they can borrow my lighter.

But I get to use it to light a cigarette first to watch the shit show. I'll need some drinks too. Wisconsin style, from when we still had style. Have to decide the appropriate beverage for the occasion. Chug lite beers? Bloody Mary's with beer chasers? Or...made from scratch Brandy Old Fashioneds...; 11/8/23, 5:14 PM
Leland said...: The same effort to use polls to drive people to vote for the "better" candidate resulted in President Biden.; 11/8/23, 5:31 PM
William50 said...: I try not to put too much stock in polls, especially one for an election a year away. I've only lived in Wisconsin 20 years but I have paid attention to the shifts in election outcomes. I can't see any Republican winning a Presidential election in Wisconsin again. At least none of the current contenders.; 11/8/23, 5:34 PM
rcocean said...: LOL. That's because Trump because has been hammered 365/24/7 for 8 years by the MSM. Haley hasn't been hit with one single strong MSM attack. Quite the opposite.

Once "Winsconsin" starts reading/seeing Haley getting smeared by the MSM, her poll numbers will drop like a stone.

Talk to the people who say they would vote for her, and they'd say "She's a strong women of color" "She's for smaller government" she's "against what Biden is for".

IOW, they're projecting their beliefs onto her. Wait till she gets smeared and her record is attacked. And they have to listen to her sreech and wag her finger for months.; 11/8/23, 5:34 PM

William50 said...: ...'I'm voting for RFK Jr'...

Don't fool yourself. The ONLY difference between Joe and RFK is 12 years.; 11/8/23, 5:52 PM
rehajm said...: She’s more General than Globetrotter and not a threat to Washington status quo. Makes sense she leads in a place where randos believe Biden is doing a good job…; 11/8/23, 5:52 PM
Big Mike said...: Can she even spell “economics” the same way twice (never mind correctly either time)?; 11/8/23, 5:59 PM
madAsHell said...: Biden was elected by fraud. Biden doesn't have a constituency.; 11/8/23, 6:04 PM
GatorNavy said...: I’m going to file this under clickbait. Marquette polling is merely satanic Jesuit magical thinking.; 11/8/23, 6:11 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Only Ever-Trumpers - really? And you have the audacity to call people "Never Trumpers"?

Ever-Trumpers for Biden 2024.; 11/8/23, 6:17 PM
SteveWe said...: Fnork the frickin polls. Just count the public at campaign stops.; 11/8/23, 6:17 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Trump and his loyalists really do want to burn it all down.

A country for old men.; 11/8/23, 6:17 PM
Original Mike said...: "All well within the margin of error."

Oh, I suspect Haley up by 9 is statistically significant.; 11/8/23, 6:23 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Ball and go home!

I have no idea if these polls are real. After the D's did pretty well last night - we need to find the person who can beat Biden. Ever-Trumpers, - you need to get real about his actual chances. Or skip voting for RFK, and just vote Biden.; 11/8/23, 6:32 PM
Joe Bar said...: I am convinced that Biden will not be the nominee.; 11/8/23, 6:41 PM

Here, here! Enough Uni-party candidates. Let Europe fund Ukraine. Protect the border, stop the runaway spending. Mitch McConnel has never met a dollar that he wouldn't spend twice. Democrats would spend that same dollar thrice.; 11/8/23, 6:47 PM
Limited blogger said...: So they're gonna give Nicki a big shove forward in tonight's debate?

Hope she wrestles with Chris, he needs to be put in his place.

Ron can be peace maker.

Vivek and Tim are bringing up the rear.; 11/8/23, 6:54 PM

Greg the Class Traitor said...: That's because Nikki is more of a Democrat than a Republican

Hard pass; 11/8/23, 7:45 PM
Political Junkie said...: Trump will be the nominee, and he will lose to SOB Joe. I think Ron and Nikki would win a general, but I might be wrong. Oh well.; 11/8/23, 7:58 PM
Kakistocracy said...: There is only one GOP candidate currently seeking the nomination who is capable of denying Biden his second term, namely Niki Haley. Her victory would still be a long shot this time around, but at least she would give Bidden a run for his money. But no. Team MAGA America’s radicalized right can’t be having that. At least until they have proven that laws don’t apply to them. So they will instead join a suicide pact by nominating Trump.; 11/8/23, 8:24 PM

Josephbleau said...: Take a deep breath and sit back. Then turn your head to see what the world looks like. Internalize within yourself that there are boys and girls. Women, you will decide what grows. Men, realize that your morality is not that of women.; 11/8/23, 9:02 PM

RNB said...: An Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll? They couldn't find any sheep livers?; 11/8/23, 9:57 PM
Readering said...: I doubt I can bring myself to vote for any of the candidates on tonight's Miami stage against Biden, but I used to say I would not vote for too-old Biden over any of them. But I have to amend that. Biden would get my vote over Ramaswamy. I didn't think WJ Bryan was too young for 1896, but VR is too young for 2024. Younger than the 3 Trump children testifying in NYC.; 11/8/23, 11:54 PM
NKP said...: No to Nikki!!!! No to any female!!! They took over education, How's that working out? They took over HR (which took over the US economy). They've feminized the military. It's time we stopped holding the door open for women, minorities, and those who demand their own damn pronouns.

I know many women who just can't wait to vote for the First Female President. FWIW, I vote in SC and I was a Nikki supporter when she came on the scene, years ago. I have since come to see her as just another self-serving pol.

To all the women commenters here whose accomplishments are based on merit, I know there are many of you and I celebrate you. Sorry for the rant.; 11/9/23, 12:15 AM

True, bu at this point immaterial.

Biden doesn't have a constituency.

Not true! Lots of people share in his graft and corruption.; 11/9/23, 5:55 AM
boatbuilder said...: I'm sort of puzzled. Did Nikki Haley do something remarkable to go from dead in the water to leading? If so, I missed it.; 11/9/23, 6:08 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Rich - Maga are not radicalized. That's just stupid. Trump is merely a dip sh*t.

the radical left are destroying our nation.; 11/9/23, 7:10 AM
Third Coast said...: She exposed her clueless emotional side when she "suggested" we should be open to accepting palestinian refugees. That was a huge tell about how she thinks. No thanks Nikki.; 11/9/23, 8:57 AM
