Scott Walker Recall: Governor Vulnerable In New Poll

Shorewood Patch:

It would be a photo finish in a gubernatorial recall race between Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and nearly any Democratic challenger, according to a poll released this week.

While the Public Policy Polling survey of 900 Wisconsin registered voters over the phone placed former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold ahead of Walker by 7 percentage points in a head-to-head matchup - though he has said he is not interested in running - Walker either wins or loses by roughly 3 percentage points against other challengers.

That's different than two other notable polls on the election. A poll conducted in October by the same North Carolina-based survey company showed Walker topping all challengers. Additionally, another recent poll conducted by Charles Franklin of the Marquette University Law School shows Walker would beat all recall challengers by large margins.

Please get it down to one candidate running against Walker. A spliut vote will cause his re-election and that would be the worst possible outcome!

Feingold is so wealthy why would he want to get his hands dirty. When your truly free to do anything you want in life.. being a wage slave i doubt tops the list. Plus you would have all these lobbiests offering you the silver or the lead..

I do so love the sound of "Governor Russ Feingold."

I am sure he has his reasons for not doing it [Senator Russ Feingold is pretty attractive, too], but I can be selfish in my wishes.

The comments on the Patch site are illuminating. I am almost tempted to create a login for them, but it is not worth the energy.

There are a lot of hat.eful folks on that site.

Maybe we should create logins there -- just to give them a little diversity.

Sometimes it can be therapeutic to actually respond rather than just roll our eyes.

I sure hope you're packed Scotty. Don't want you wasting any time after the election finding boxes.

Agreed! A lot of us are within a short driving distance to the mansion. We would help him pack for FREE on one condition:

The very first day in the mansion, Scooter took a beautiful, commissioned painting hanging for many years, (A beautiful painting of children of different ethnic backgrounds playing) and replaced it with
AN EAGLE. Put the painting back up, take the eagle off of the mansion wall, and we will bring the trucks and boxes. We will drive him right to the Dane County line - then he will need to fend for himself.

I wish my Wisconsin NEA friends well. I have contritubed to the recall and will again.

I bet Russ will change his mind. And 7 points in the poll isn't small.

Once again....

"They'll never get enough signatures". We Did.
"The petitions are full of fake signatures like Mickey Mouse". They aren't.
"Enough signatures will be challenged and thrown out to stop the recall". They weren't.

And don't forget John Doe.

A lot of scooter fans on here, I see! Just this morning I read that yet again, Wisconsin leads the nation in unemployment. Considering we have never, in our history, had that "recognition," the baggers hold on to their hopes. It just shows that they will stand by ANYBODY!

Despite what your union puppet masters have conditioned you to parrot, Walker will win the recall election easily.

It is my strong belief that the good people of Wisconsin will decide the ultimate fate of this nation . It will decide if we will continue on a suicidal journey with Obama to economic oblivion or we will try to reduce the ever increasing, $40,000+ debt per person Obama and radicals gladly subject us to. Gov. Scott Walker is seen as an obstacle to the completion of Obama carrying out the wishes of Obama''s radical parents and friends. The fact that our Navy is buying $16.00 a gallon Algae fuel oil to be "GREEN" , that Boeing was not allowed to build its new plane in a more manufacturing friendly state, and that our judges are starting to promote Sharia Law are only a few grim examples of what is going on. This nation desperately needs more Scott Walkers and less Pelosis and Obamas.

That's funny! you are "trying" to fight the inevitable - 2010 woke up a lot of people that didn't vote in WI - Scooter damaged our beautiful state and we will win in back. We now have our Native American Tribes stepping in - their government outweighs EVERYBODY'S government.

Hey, why not bring back Dubya?? Oh wait, he did not seem to care about deficits either and blew through the first surplus we had in years. A surplus that President Clinton (a Democrat if I remember correctly) left us with.

Bad news for Walker, is good news for Americans.
