Wisconsin Presidential Forecast tossup POTENTIAL FLIP

Last Updated: Tuesday, November 5 at 12:18 PM EST

Our model currently predicts that Donald Trump has a 51% chance of winning Wisconsin.

Once a part of the "Blue Wall" but a purple state today, the last four presidential elections in Wisconsin without Barack Obama on the ballot were decided by less than 1%. The last Republican president to win Wisconsin by double digits was fellow Midwesterner Dwight D. Eisenhower; the last one to win the state twice was Ronald Reagan; and the only presidential candidates to carry the state by double digits after 1956 were Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama in 1996 and 2008, respectively. In 2016, Donald Trump narrowly won Wisconsin by 0.77% in his surprise sweep of the Midwest and Rust Belt, becoming the first Republican since Reagan in his 1984 landslide to win the state's electoral votes. However, in 2020, Democrat Joe Biden flipped Wisconsin back to blue by an even narrower margin of 0.63%. Given the state's competitive electoral history and nearly even partisan lean, Wisconsin is considered a crucial battleground in 2024.
