The latest Marquette Poll is out and has some interesting results:

...

On education, 72% think public school spending should be increased beyond current levels, 76% have a favorable view of public school teachers, 81% are satisfied with their local school (84% among those with school-age children). Meanwhile only 27% have a favorable view of voucher schools, however 49% of the state is still unsure on the topic and only 24% disapprove.

...

The big take-away from this poll is the great public school numbers, which was echoed by the pollster, Charles Franklin, who said "there is just no evidence the public is unhappy with public schools."

1. I love the spin in this article

And how they frame it as the public supporting the voucher program, and make that the lead off of the article.

Pathetic.

2. Wow, they must be dizzy as hell. I fondly remember when WPR was NOT under the control of the right.
