Wisconsin voters also chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. On April 5, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Wisconsin voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic and Republican parties ' respective nominees for president : Bernie Sanders ( D ) and Ted Cruz ( R ) in an open primary with voters allowed to choose to vote in either one. Donald Trump won Wisconsin by a narrow margin of 47.2 % to 46.5 % for Hillary Clinton, thanks to overwhelming and underestimated support from white working class voters which the Democrats had previously had an advantage with, making him the first Republican candidate to carry the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984. On November 25, an irregularity was discovered by officials in Outagamie County, that resulted in the pre-official vote totals being reported incorrectly. This irregularity was due to a calculator error. It was corrected in the official vote totals. Following a statewide recount requested by Jill Stein 's campaign, Trump was certified to have won Wisconsin by a narrow margin -- 1,405,284 votes to Clinton 's 1,382,536. Wisconsin was also the tipping point state of the 2016 election. This was also the first time that Wisconsin did not vote the same as neighboring Illinois since 1988.

Defeating the Republican nominee, Senator John McCain of Arizona, with 52.9 % of the popular vote and 68 % of the electoral vote, Obama succeeded two - term Republican President George W. Bush, the former Governor of Texas. Obama and Biden were reelected in the 2012 presidential election, defeating former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney with 51.1 % of the popular vote and 61.7 % of electoral votes. Although Barack Obama 's approval rating in the RealClearPolitics poll tracking average remained between 40 and 50 percent for most of his second term, it has experienced a surge in early 2016 and reached its highest point since 2012 during June of that year. Analyst Nate Cohn has noted that a strong approval rating for President Obama would equate to a strong performance for the Democratic candidate, and vice versa. Following his second term, President Obama was not eligible for another reelection. In October 2015, Obama 's running - mate and two - term Vice President Biden decided not to enter the race for the Democratic presidential nomination either. With Obama and Biden 's terms expiring on January 20, 2017, the electorate is asked to elect a new president, the 45th president and 48th vice president of the United States, respectively.

The last poll published prior to the election by Remington Research had Hillary Clinton with a 8 - point lead over Donald Trump. On election day, Trump ended up carrying the state by almost 1 point, a difference of 9 points from pre-election polling. Prior to the election, most major news networks and professional predictions predicted the state as either lean or likely Democratic. State voting history Wisconsin joined the Union in May 1848 and has participated in all elections from 1848 onwards. Since 1900, Wisconsin has been won by the Democrats and Republicans the same number of times. Republican - turned - Progressive Robert M. La Follette Sr. carried the state in the 1924 presidential election. The state voted for the Democratic nominee in the seven elections from 1988 to 2012, although sometimes by small margins, as it was in 1992, 2000, and 2004. There were other occasions, in contrast, when the margin of victory was substantial, such as 1996, 2008, and 2012. In 2016, however, Republican Donald Trump surprisingly won the state, despite pre-election polling consistently showing Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton enjoying a significant lead by rather comfortably high margins.
