Wisconsin D and R Preview

Democrats:
Odds Sanders 95% Clinton 5%
Margin: Sanders 54% Clinton 46%
Explanation: This is a state that is demographically similar to Michigan except that the voters are roughly half as African American. The polling mostly gives Sanders a very slight lead, but when you are this deep into a process and have polls that disagree with demographics go with the demographics.
Delegate total: Sanders 46 Clinton 40

Republicans:
Odds Cruz 97% Trump 3%
Margin: Cruz 44% Trump 37%  Kasich 19%
Explanation: Cruz has been gaining here, and this was never a state in which Donald Trump was particularly strong.  Cruz has also lined up the Wisconsin Talk Show hosts and Governor Scott Walker. What also seems clear is that Trump has not entirely collapsed and will get a lot of votes. We have him also winning two districts and could even see him being competitive in another three.  This could be closer than some believe, but in the end it’s hard to see Cruz losing.
Delegate Total: Cruz 36 Trump 6

The Scorecard

The Scorecard

The Scorecard is a political strategy and analysis blog. Our hope is to provide information and insight that can be found nowhere else into how and why things are happening in American politics. Unlike many political pundits, we will tell you who we think is going to win as an election approaches; we will tell you why; and we will give you a sense of our level of confidence. Ours is a holistic approach, one that takes in as many numbers as possible but is also willing to look past the numbers if need be. When we turn out to have been wrong, we will let you know. When we are right, we’ll let you know that too.
