I hope it fails. Walker and the Lt. Gov. both need our support.

And given this is a presidential election year, turn-out will be heavy.

WI FReepers, has Walker started launching his ads yet, or is he holding fast until the scumocrats have a nominee? This may possibly change if he's been biding his time until the bad guys send someone forward.

This is a BS poll. WI voters won’t actually vote yes or no on the recall. When they get into the voting booth they will be given the choice between Walker and whatever Democrat wins the May 8 primary. That Democrat is likely be damaged from a very nasty primary and will have less than a month to unite the party.

This is liberal disinformation. Gov. Walker is liked by we of the WI silent majority and we will vote against this recall. The article, to me, is a reminder to send Walker a contribution.

I'm not in WI, don't know anyone from WI but does this number seem correct? How could the people of WI seek to dismiss the very person responsible for pulling them out of the hole?

It that does indeed happen here you’d be well within your right to tell us that.

My bet (or hope to be fair) is an outlier from Ras on this one. With all of the BS that has been going on here because of Democrats I honestly cannot see how on earth how we ended up with that number. Republicans are fired up to kill off this desperate attempt and I don’t see the whole Democrat party fired up on this...just the far left. I have a good number of Democrats friends who did not sign the recall and have no intention of voting in the recall.

I’m pro-recall at this point because I want the chance to crush them.

We’ll see, but I have faith in this State.

I did lived in Wisconsin and, while Wisconsinites are generally nice people, they seem to worship their unions. If the union bosses say "he's bad," he's deemed bad.

Plus, the improvements the Walker administration has brought -- though highly beneficial -- spell "change" in the name of self-determination and freedom... and apparently those concepts frighten some people. They've existed for decades on their back under the union jackboot, and the new view from a standing position must be unsettling.

I appreciate your perspective and hope WI is not a microcosm of the November Presidential election.

Here is my take on this poll. Lefties always are vocal about how much they hate our TERRIFIC Gov. Scott Walker. Even though Rasmussen is a good group, this poll IMHO does not reflect how we feel here in WI.

The reforms Walker put in place ARE WORKING. One note is that the Wisconsin Education Association (WEAC) was FORCING the school districts to purchase health insurance from their OWN company at extremely inflated disgusting prices. Walker put a stop to that! School boards can now shop for much less expensive health insurance and have done that in droves. That ONE reform saves literally MILLIONS for even a small school district.

Also when a polling group calls a union member - hence teacher that perhaps does NOT want to be outed as being in favor of the reforms they, in fear that the poll is a fake one by the unions themselves, will not answer honestly. There are teachers here in WI that never wanted to be part of the union, but were forced to pay dues, etc. Now they don’t have to.

Let the dust settle on this. The left knows the reforms have been amazingly effective and ARE saving WI taxpayers millions of dollars with just a few easy fixes as he put in place.

I don’t believe these numbers. Yes - WE the TEA Party people AND concerned taxpayers are well informed and will make our voices heard for this recall. I’m hoping and praying for a blowout, but the national unions see the handwriting / Obama / Soros will spend literally millions here trying to defeat Walker on June 5. That is not rumor - word on street all over here in WI. Union thugs are not queit people. Please donate to Scott Walker if you can. We appreciate your concern.

Wisconsin is a lovely state and yes this is a battleground state for the national conversation for the union thugs. We appreciate your prayers AND your donations to Scott Walker.

Rasmussen is a pretty good pollster but if you can not see the crosstabs you can not trust a poll. JMHO.

I’m pretty sure this is a skewed poll, meant to influence and demoralize. Just anecdotal, I drove from western Wis. to central Wis., over the weekend, to visit friends. For every Recall Walker yard sign I saw along the way, I saw five Support the Governor yard signs and homemade billboards in the vicinity.

Unless the dems bring scores of busloads of "voters" up from Illinois to wreak electoral havoc at the polls.

I know that polls last month showed Walker comfortably ahead of his likely dem opponents. This poll is small and may be an outlier because of that.

It is one thing to recall but what are you replacing Walker with? If he polls better than his opponents, that is good news for Walker.
