Excellent news!

[Lief 🗽]

Wonderful news! If we can take out Walker this year, that's one less GOP candidate for president who can actually win a national election.

[windjammer]

Seriously, I HATE this guy. But this isn't a close race, he will win unfortunately.

[DrScholl]

Walker is likely to end up in a closer race than expected and I think it's a good pickup opportunity. If a tie is the best Rasmussen can do, he's in trouble.

Tossup from Lean R.

Walker is well funded, but he is a union buster. Like Rauner and Scott and Corbett, union busters won't win.

I told you so.
I always knew Walker would struggle against this formidable opponent in this Democratic state.
If relatively moderate Ryan couldn't even win his home state in 2012 (despite Romney spending heavily in the state), it's not all that likely that a much more conservative Governor could win reelection there.

Wait, what?

Taking this with a grain of salt. I'm hoping Burke wins, but it's Rasmussen.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Spells bad news for Rob Johnson. Hope Feingold keys on this race, perhaps a precursor for what's yet to come in 2016.

Walker wins because the inner city Milwaukee demographic won't show up for this race. Burke is already lying in her campaign adds and being called out by neutral organizations on it. Depressed Milwaukee Dem voters will get Walker the election. And then I suspect recall part 2?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I live in neighboring IL. The Sink election shows that young people are depressed, not necessarily all minorities. Hopefully BlK turnout in Madison and MKE gives Burke the key to victory.

Count on Wisconsin unions to have a powerful GOTV drive with a heavy focus upon minority communities that have nothing to gain from another term of Scott Walker.

LOL Ras. Waiting for MLS.

You mean like in 2012 when the issue was fresh and it still didn't work because turnout was up everywhere? That was the Dems best chance, Walker wins in 2014, gets at least one more term. Everything up in the air in 2018 though.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is the first poll that shows Walker not leading. We should wait on subsequent polls.

[Andrew1]

The RGA just shelled out $1.2m on a negative ad buy, and all Rasmussen can manage is a tie. But they're only just getting started.

[Nichlemn]

Is Rasmussen still the Republican-leaning firm it was (now that Scott Rasmussen has left)?

^^^This, but I think it'll be closer than the recall.

[IceSpear]

Interesting. But like most Rasmussen polls, should be taken with a grain of salt. We'll see if another poll corroborates it.

[LeBron]

This is pathetic, even for Walker. It's clear the secret email network scandal is hurting him big time and for a conservative-leaning poll, Walker is undoubtedly in trouble. Instead of creating the 250K jobs he promised, he's attacking urban voters and African Americans primarily in Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay, but it will only take him down like it will take Kasich down in the end. I think we have a pretty good chance now of taking out both Kasich and Walker.

Hopefully, a Marquette or PPP poll backs up this poll of Walker being in trouble.

[ElectionsGuy]

This is tight! Walker pretty much has to win this if he wants any political future.

Who's the biased pollster now?
