52% in Wisconsin Support Recall of Governor Walker :Rasmussen

Monday, April 02, 2012

A majority of Wisconsin voters now support the effort to recall Republican Governor Scott Walker.

A new Rasmussen Reports statewide survey shows that, if the recall election was held today, 52% of Likely Voters would vote to recall Governor Walker and remove him from office. Forty-seven percent (47%) would vote against the recall and let him continue to serve as governor

2. How can it be close?

The 900,000 valid signatures collected don't even add up to the number of people who voted against him in 2010.

That's how.

Most people in Wisconsin (and everywhere for that matter) are not union, and do not care about union rights.

6. His policies are affecting more than just unions

I hope all of his bad policies are being pushed.

Defunding Planned Parenthood, cutting access to contraception, John Doe investigation, cutting corporate taxes, etc.
There is much much more that is being done against the people of Wisconsin.

7. 1) It IS Tea-Stained here! 2) Walker began running ads mid-winter 3) the nominating deadline

hasn't even ended for entering the democratic primary.

In the Milwaukee area Falk's teacher union supporters started running ads for her 4-5 weeks ago.

This is actually MUCH better than I'd expected. People haven't shown any evidence in changing their opinion about Walker and the WI Senate R's since war was declared a year ago on public employee unions.

I can only explain this happy prospect in light of the Red-idiots following ALEC's call for attacks on women. I hope Grothman never shuts his mouth and that Johnson keeps propping up Republicans for Pedophile Priests.

Are you independent.

I'm guessing they didn't like what they heard.

3. rasmussen is a RW gadfly; his polls are always weighted for Repubs

I assume the figures are more like 58% in favor of kicking out Gov. Koch Whore

5. 52% to 48% is really dead even or barely favoring Walker
Mon Apr 2, 2012, 03:23 PM

when you consider the GOP has a built-in 4% shift due to voting fraud - machine-tampering, etc: Remember Ohio polls in 2004 was 52% Kerry to 47% Bush on election day and we all know how that turned out.
