It's not looking good for King Walker: Badger Poll-Wisconsinites Feel State Government is run for the benefit of a few big interests over the people.

Overall, do you approve or disapprove of the way Scott Walker is handling his job as Governor of Wisconsin? Approve: 37,  Disapprove: 55




TMJ4: The pollster noted that the likely reason for Walker's disapproval rate is that 55 percent of respondents said they opposed his two-year budget plan, which made deep cuts to public education to deal with a $3 billion budget shortfall … the highest percentage since the university started asking the question in 2006.


The poll found that 78 percent of respondents believe having the recall option is a good thing, and half of the respondents said the current recall efforts made them feel better about Wisconsin politics. 
Walker said he believes a majority of people said they were unhappy with the direction of the state because of anger over the recall election campaigns and frustration with the national economy.

"I think a lot more people will be happy come Aug. 10 when most of these recalls are done because in general people are tired of these endless campaigns," Walker said.

Katherine Cramer Walsh, a political science professor at UW-Madison who helped with the poll said she was a little surprised that so many people supported the recall option in the state constitution. But that was about the only surprise, she said.

  1. It's a multi-front offensive against the dictates of the Walker administration. Thanks.
