Scott Walker 2016 presidential campaign in crisis after plunge in polls

[n2doc]

The sputtering presidential campaign of Scott Walker, who just weeks ago was hailed as a heavyweight contender for the White House, was plunged deeper into crisis on Sunday as a new national poll placed the Wisconsin governor’s support at less than half a percentage point.

At the end of a week in which a second lacklustre TV debate performance was followed by major fundraisers openly airing their fears to the media, Walker found himself abruptly relegated to the bottom tier of Republican candidates in the CNN survey.

So dramatic has been Walker’s demise that “no one” registered more support than him for 2016 among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents in the CNN poll.

“Walker’s collapse is especially stark,” said the network’s report on the survey. “Celebrated by conservatives – in the party’s base and its donor class alike – for his union-busting efforts in Wisconsin, Walker at one point led the field in the key early voting state of Iowa.”

Walker now enjoys just 1.8% of support among Republicans, according to a polling average by RealClearPolitics. A separate NBC survey on Sunday found his support had dropped from 7% to 3% since last month and that only 1% now believed he would ultimately be the Republican nominee.
