Quite a GOP-leaning sample, but I guess PPP knows what they are doing with regards to WI.

Yet Walker leads...

Who are these Obama/Walker voters?

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Walker has positive approval numbers in this poll, so it's clearly an outlier. Obama's winning WI by double digits.

[ShadowOfTheWave]

Romney needs to pick the brilliant Paul Ryan for VP, which puts this state in play. Rubio is a horrible choice, and if FL isn't sealed up for Mitt on election day he's not going to win anyway.

[cavalcade]

If true this would be consistent with a tossup at the national level.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

A likely voters poll is useless at this point.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Not only that, but the Occupy stuff is going to shift momentum away from Romney.

Not only that, but the Occupy stuff is going to shift momentum away from Romney.

Yeah right, because Americans are so into communism. Mitt is offering economic freedom, not class warfare.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Mitt is offering economic freedom, not class warfare.

Mitt is the man who supports fascist "right-to-work" laws.

Lolz. Which Fox News host did you get that from?

[Invisible Obama]

Yeah right, because Americans are so into communism. Mitt is offering economic freedom, not class warfare.

He's offering cuts to education to pay for tax breaks, that's hardly the answer to any problems.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

High turnout means big Obama win. It's that simple.

You should start wearing that black shirt of yours...corporate fascists FTW

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

This is a likely voter poll of a recall election, toss it.

Mitt is the man who supports fascist "right-to-work" laws.

Fascist? Those laws protect workers from corrupt unions. If the Democrats are for freedom why do they support card check?

Good idea, not only will they lose the state......but seniors may be up for grabs for the President.

"Freedom" my arse. Hasn't Mitt Romney realized that the 'Crash of 2008' and the ensuring 'Great Recession' has discredited the neoliberal mantra espoused by Friedrich von Hayek with the very thing neoliberals oppose - the state - intervening out of necessity to avert a reprisal of the Great Depression

Maybe because labor unions play in integral role in securing the socio-economic well-being of the middle and working classes

Outlier! Junk poll! Outlier! Junk Poll!

Actually the bulk of polls have shown Walker on the path to victory.

That's different from having positive approval numbers.

Maybe because labor unions play in integral role in securing the socio-economic well-being of the middle and working classes. They have as much a part to play in any liberal democratic/plural polity as business organizations or any other lobby group when it comes to influencing decision-making

This poll here, among others, shows Walker with positive approvals.

I thought we liked PPP? Is there a real reason other than that it shows Romney doing well for ignoring this? (serious question)

It's a poll of likely voters for the June recall.

[Invisible Obama]

Romney losing by 6 is hardly doing well, especially in a survey of likely voters at this stage.
