STRONG SUPPORT For WI Governor Scott Walker in Latest Pol
Gateway Pundit ^ | 03/11/2011 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/14/2011 8:31:08 PM PDT by ThinkingBuddha

The Free Enterprise Nation (FEN) today released the results of a national poll that shows strong support for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker among Independent voters. The poll of voters outside of Wisconsin, taken from March 3rd to March 9th, included 500 Democrat, 500 Republican and 500 Independent voters.

FEN spokesman, Jim MacDougald stated that “This poll contradicts some of the other polls we’ve seen. According to our poll, 95% of Republicans agree with the Governor, and 92% of Democrats agree with the union. There is not much of a surprise there. But 66% of Independent voters agree with the Governor, and this group is what swings most elections.”

The support for the Governor’s position was even stronger when the question specifically addressed his plan to require teachers to pay 5.8% of their salary toward their pension and 12.6% of their health insurance costs, with 71% of all respondents saying that measure was fair.

When asked if it is good public policy to allow public sector workers to retire at age 55 or earlier, 61% of all voters said “no”, and they were evenly divided when asked if public sector employees should be allowed to unionize with 48% against, 48% for, and 4% undecided.

I'd like to believe the poll, but it sounds completely bogus to me. They selected self-described populations from each political persuasion?!

Not to me. Those numbers are not nearly good enough. We have a serious problem in this country. As I’ve said for over ten years, in a democracy you not only get the government you want. You get the government you deserve. The problem with president Urkel, is not Urkel. The problem is the people that voted for him. And it doesn’t go away when he is defeated.

Let’s hope zero doesn’t carry Wisconsin in 2012.

The Demoscum Fleebaggers took away most of the voting rights from the Senators doing their jobs for 3 weeks in Madison. This is only fair.

I say it's welfare. Who picks up the other 94.2% and 87.4%?

Who cares about these stupid polls? and as for Wi., we who live here are going to have to be mobilized and motivated to make sure that we defeat the Lefties who want to do us harm...

Great ad. Obama’s numbers need to be kept around his ankles with Independents, or else we’ve lost it to the communists after decades of our own neglect, slippery slope and boiling froggy slowly, napping and letting the public schools slip from the grasp of the family and neighborhood.
