Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) could be in a serious fight in the upcoming recall election, according to the new survey from Public Policy Polling (D), with Walker in some tight races against his potential Democratic opponents.

Walker starts out in trouble on a key number: His approval rating is 47%, to disapproval of 52%.

...............


“These are the most encouraging numbers we’ve found for Democrats in Wisconsin related to the Walker recall since last August,” writes PPP president Dean Debnam. “Walker’s numbers had been seeing some recovery, but now it appears they’ve turned back in the wrong direction. The big question now is whether Democrats can find a candidate to take advantage of Walker’s vulnerability.”

Against the two declared Democratic candidates, former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk edges Walker by 48%-47%, while the lesser-known state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout trails Walker by 46%-44%.

The big question now is whether Democrats can find a candidate to take advantage of Walker’s vulnerability? That's just a matter of her promising to do UNDO everything Walker did, duh! And they're BOTH named Kathleen???

WI needs someone from outside the 'insider' clique. LaFollette has been retired for quite awhile, has expressed interest, and carries that wonderful Wisconsin for-the-people name.


Yes please and thank you.

If he resigns before the recall certification, we get Crayfish and another year of deprecatory bills that let the Koch Roaches feed off the populace uninhibited.

Besides, what has Walker done in the last year to suggest he would do such a thing?

It won't happen, even if he gets indited before the Government Accountability Board certifies the recall mid-March.

Walker won't resign. Period. Which works to our advantage.
