Ezra Klein: Unions polling well, Scott Walker polling poorly

<...>

And that's not an isolated survey. A Pew poll released yesterday found the unions winning over the public in Wisconsin -- they led Walker by 11 points.

I've actually been surprised at how well unions have held up in the polling. My gut instinct was that Scott Walker's campaign would be popular, and resistance to it would be a minority sentiment. My gut was very, very wrong. I wonder whether Scott Walker is beginning to get the creeping suspicion that his gut was wrong, too? A new PPP poll of Wisconsin shows that if the Badger State's voters could do it over again, they'd elect Walker's opponent as governor. The change in sentiment is almost entirely attributable to self-identified Republicans who are also union members. They voted for Walker in November, and now wish they hadn't. According to the PPP poll, if the election was run again, 10 percent of Republicans would defect from Walker, up from only 3 percent who voted Democratic in November.

Recall!

1. Terrific

But he still has ten months to ruin Wisconsin before he can be recalled and the legislature can still hobble any replacement for another year. Scotty ain't budging, come hell or highwater, and he's gonna do a LOT of damage in the meantime. And I am so cynical that I wonder if any voter anger will be sustainable in the long-run: that is, will the rest of those mother-fuckers be voted out in 2012?
