New poll: Scott Walker has 56% disapproval in WI. most oppose his "right to work" law

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker facing trouble at home, poll shows

Walker's job approval has fallen to 41%, with 56% disapproving, according to the latest Marquette Law School poll, which has been Wisconsin's leading survey. That's the lowest approval figure for Walker in several years of Marquette's surveys.

---
Not only has Walker's popularity declined, but voters have soured on the state's outlook. The share who say the state is on the "wrong track" increased to 53%, up from 44% in October.

2016 Republican race up for grabs, Democrats back Clinton, poll finds
By 38% to 33%, a plurality of voters said the state's budget picture had gotten worse than several years ago, with 25% saying it was about the same. In the fall, shortly before Walker won election to a second term, voters by 44% to 22% said the budget situation was getting better.

A majority also think Wisconsin is lagging behind other states in creating jobs.

-----
Voters also turned thumbs down on legislation Walker recently signed that made Wisconsin a "right to work" state. By 50% to 44%, voters said they oppose the law, which prevents unions from requiring workers to pay dues or representation fees. The state's unions strongly opposed the law.

Good ol' republican policies at work here courtesy of the Koch Bros' puppet and the idiots that voted twice for his corrupt low grade dummy. Hey Wisconsin, what did you think you were getting? Or was the think element out of the equation?

election were held today.

It says "a majority also think Wisconsin is lagging behind other states in creating jobs"
They were DEAD LAST, I think now they're somewhere around 47-48.
It shouldn't be a "majority" who know that it should be 100% of Wisonsin residents!


Don't rule Walker out though. If he gets the Koch brothers $800 million he can buy a lot of votes.
