New Polls Find Voters in Key Wisconsin State Legislative Districts Disapprove of MAGA Agenda, Dissatisfied With GOP Incumbents
MADISON, Wis. — New polling of voters in five key Wisconsin state legislative districts shows deep disapproval of the MAGA agenda and Donald Trump, and that voters are ready to demonstrate their dissatisfaction at the ballot box in November. The latest Wisconsin specific findings mirror MAGA’s rapidly plummeting approval nationwide and follow trends in elections in other states.
The poll, which covered Wisconsin voters in several State Assembly districts currently represented by GOP incumbents, found nearly universal dissatisfaction with the legislative Republican majority’s performance, or lack thereof, in addressing rising costs at a time when more than half of Americans say their finances are ‘worsening.’
“Clearly Wisconsinites have had enough of the out-of-touch GOP agenda and are energized to hold these MAGA politicians accountable for leaving working families behind,” said A Better Wisconsin Together Deputy Director Mike Browne.
Poll results show there is nearly universal dissatisfaction with the job the Republican controlled state legislature has done to address rising costs. The sentiment that the legislature has not done enough ranged between 74 and 82 percent across the five districts in which surveys were conducted. Donald Trump’s ratings were also dismal, with his unfavorables outpacing his favorables by double digits in all districts, including by 18 points in the 21st Assembly District and 20 points in the 51st Assembly District.
Browne noted that the poll results were also especially ominous for incumbent Republican Representatives Shannon Zimmerman (R-River Falls), Todd Novak (R-Dodgeville), Bob Donovan (R-Greenfield), and Pat Snyder (R-Weston) with voters preferring a generic Democrat over them in call cases.
“All of these Republican lawmakers have a long record of pushing the same MAGA extremism that voters find so unsatisfactory in Trump,” said Browne. “And instead of listening to their constituents, they’ve sided with their party bosses to curry their favor and get their campaign cash.”
