From JSonline.com:
If the polls are any guide, the 2 million or more Wisconsinites who turn out to vote Nov. 2 could be one of the most conservative electorates this state has seen in decades.
Things could change of course, and a late surge of interest in the election by Democrats could close the so-called “enthusiasm gap” between the parties.
But one of the most striking trends in surveys here and nationally is that conservatives are outnumbering moderates among likely voters – a reversal of the voting mix in past elections.
Whether that pattern holds on election day, many pollsters and political strategists agree that the 2010 electorate will feature a different blend of voters – older, whiter, more conservative – than turned out in the 2008 presidential race or even in the last midterm election in 2006.
