New RASMUSSEN poll suggests Scott Walker may be in trouble...



"A new poll shows the race for Wisconsin governor in a dead heat, with Gov. Scott Walker and Democratic challenger Mary Burke tied with 45 percent apiece.

The poll also showed five percent of voters favoring other candidates and five percent undecided.

Any poll showing the race tied would be good news for Burke, who has trailed in recent polls by at least several points, but it is especially heartening to Democrats that the poll comes from Rasmussen Reports, a firm founded by conservative activist Scott Rasmussen that is often criticized for results that favor Republicans."

I remain devastated that the recall failed to remove this a-hole.

Rassie polls tend to favor republicans If Walker is tied in a Rassie poll, then he is behind in this race.

A sitting governor should be polling better. I really hope that Walker is defeated
