In Wisconsin, which candidate passes the beer test?

There's basketball on the TVs, beer and brandy Old Fashioneds in the glasses, fried fish on the plates — and good-natured conversation that largely eschews the presidential election that seems so far from this cozy, small-town watering hole.

Not Democratic leader Hillary Clinton, says Dan Gremonprez, 65, of West Bend, a retired engineer: God no.

A recent national poll from Quinnipiac University showed that both are viewed positively within their own parties, but have negative favorability ratings among general election voters.

Republican Ted Cruz — who is leading the GOP primary race in Wisconsin — also had a negative rating before general election voters, with 47 percent viewing him unfavorably.

The survey of 1,451 registered voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.

Overall the views leaned Republican, as Slinger, a village of just over 5,000 people located in southeast Wisconsin, is a conservative area.

In 2012, Obama downed a brew at the Iowa State Fair and the White House released a recipe for White House Honey Brown Ale, believed to be the first beer brewed on the White House grounds.

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email that the favorability ratings were being overplayed by the media and called the argument that he can't win in November as a result "absurd."
