I haven't been able to get a hold oft he demographics of the sample.

"The survey of 750 Likely Voters in Wisconsin was conducted on August 13-14, 2014 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence."

The fact that this is not a landslide in Walkers favor after all he has done to right the state......proves to me people are beyond stupid and we have no hope (Except in God)

Its not all that unexpected when the dead, pet, and fictional populations are heavily Democratic.

It could be possible that they are using the voter turnout model from the 2012 Presidential election. If that electorate turns out, Burke will win by 2-4% points. Btw, if the recall would have been held during the Presidential election like Tate wanted it, Walker would have lost to Barrett by 2-3% points.

OFA is going to be here this year trying to knock off Walker. And if they can’t do it this year, they WILL recall him again in 2016 just to keep him from running for President.

Yep, thats how they do it. They keep the race looking really close, then they manufacture votes and they figure everyone thought it was close from the start and they will not be surprised.

****ards. Never has the minions of the DNC played this dirty, They never except defeat and be cordial and give it a go in 4 or 2 yrs. We can't continue as a Republic / Democracy when one party does not behave in a gentlemanly like fashion and has no moral / character anchor and wants nothing but chaos and does not respect the office and it's inhabitant is lawful and is behaving in such a manor. They have no respect for the rule of law....

Pre-positioned abandoned cars with ballots in the trunk is the Minnesota trick.

Even if one makes the assumption that this was a completely-unbiased, and professionally-conducted survey — reporting a 1% gap is a case of false-precision. It’s really too close to call (again, making those assumptions about the survey data).

When the democrats are within 5% they have no problem stealing the election.

This is a non-story. All previous elections were close. This will be close. If he remains relentless he is the strong favorite.
