Poll: Scott Walker Approval Underwater, Trails Hillary In Head-To-Head

Source: Talking Points Memo

A new Marquette University poll has some bad news for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R).

The poll, released Thursday, found Walker's approval rating among registered voters at 41 percent while 56 percent said they disapproved of the job he's been doing. In October 2014, 49 percent said they approved of Walker's job performance while 47 percent said they disapproved.

Walker, who has taken serious steps toward running for president in 2016, generally polls at the front or near the front of surveys of likely Republican primary candidates. But he trails in a head-to-head with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who's running for the Democratic nomination for president.

The poll found that in a head-to-head match-up, 52 percent of Wisconsinites surveyed said they would support Clinton, while 40 percent said they would support Walker.

If only we could one day get to the point where we weren't so slow on the initial draw, and stop having to wait until the damage is done to wake up.

Walker will never be President of the United States - it's not even a remote possibility.

The direct result of the brainwashing the American public has endured for at least 90 years!
