Scott Walker at zero in new national poll

"SNIP................


Madison (WKOW) -- A new national poll shows Governor Scott Walker polling at 0 percent in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

The CNN/ORC poll released Sunday shows there were five candidates who received less than one percent of support from likely Republican voters. Walker was among them, joined by former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and former New York Governor George Pataki. Less than one percent equates to zero percent, statistically.

The results show Donald Trump is still the front-runner with 24 percent, but has lost ground from earlier in the month. However Carly Fiorina jumped to second place with 15 percent.

Another category Walker falters in is recognition. Walker has the second-worst polling numbers in name recognition. The poll shows 25 percent of likely Republican voters say they've never heard of him. All other candidates except for Ohio governor John Kasich were more recognizable to likely Republicans.

The poll began the day after the most recent Republican debate on CNN.

Walker was never loved in Wisconsin. All three of his victories were with 52-53 percent of the vote. StevieM Sep 2015 #14

have fallen...

I guess Walker will have to go back and torture the unfortunate citizens of Wisconsin,
as he won't be doing the same to the rest of us...

I can find no firm figure, and with all the dark money flying around, I have no idea.

But...

It must have been a shitload.

Zero percent sounds a little high, actually.
