WI-GOV: Second poll shows a lead for Evers over Walker.

The Democratic Primary for Governor appears to be breaking in the direction of State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers with 30% of the vote. Only State Senator Kathleen Vinehout is the only other candidate in double digits at 10%, 33% of Democratic primary voters are still undecided (n=282, +/-6.3%).

Evers appears in a strong position for a General Election run against incumbent Governor Scott Walker. Evers leads 48% to 41%, with 7% undecided. One variable that could factor in to the Evers lead is Governor Walker's popularity in the state is underwater, with a 40% approval and 46% disapproval. Independents disapprove of Walker 47% to 36%, and break for Evers over Walker 47% to 34%.

Cheaters always cheat. Rigged machines, lost ballots, gerrymandering, voter id.
Reducing the number of polls, reducing DMV sites in rural communities for ids.
Loading up the judges.
It’s been a battle. This is the first sign things might be changing. Even the Koch brothers are concerned.

... because the GOP candidate was going to lose? I remember that was being discussed in the Spring.
