2024 election: Education is the one of the key demographics in defeating Donald Trump

 
Comparing the results Wisconsin's 2016 and 2020 presidential elections,  the GOP made a net gain of 8,663 votes in the 10 counties with the lowest level of educational attainment.  All of the counties are rural.  Total population:  257,502 -- 5% of the state total.

Democrats have shown in recent years they can still win elections in Wisconsin while getting trounced in rural counties, with victories for president in 2020, for governor in 2018 and 2022, and U.S. Senate in 2018. 
But their path to victory is different and arguably narrower now than it was before the rural realignment. 
Thanks to the gains they have been making among suburban voters [especially in the WOW counties of Waukesha and Ozaukee], reversing or even stopping their erosion in rural Wisconsin could give Democrats the upper hand in this state.

Democrats, on the other hand, made a net gain of 51,090 votes in the 10 counties with the highest level of educational attainment. And the counties are a mix of blue, red, and purple.  Total population:  1,676,279 -- 28% of the state total.
