Couldn't happen to a nicer douchebag.

http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2011/05/walkers-numbers-continue-to-get-worse.html

Scott Walker's popularity has continued to decline over the last three months and Wisconsin voters now say they would vote to recall him if there was an election today. They also say they would pick either Russ Feingold or Tom Barrett over Walker in a head to head match up.

43% of voters now approve of the job Walker is doing to 54% who disapprove. When PPP polled the state in late February it was 46% of voters approving to 52% disapproval. Walker's numbers now are virtually identical to where they were before with Democrats and Republicans but with independents he's seen his popularity continue to decline from a 45/53 approval spread to a 40/56 one.

...

Although voters are pretty evenly divided on whether they would support a recall there's less doubt about who they would vote for if there actually was a recall election. They say they would pick Feingold over Walker by a 52-42 margin and Barrett over him by a 50-43 spread. In both of those match ups Democrats are more committed to replacing Walker than Republicans are to keeping him, and independents go on the side of swapping him out for Feingold or Barrett as well.

...

And the implications of this finding are probably limited for the upcoming State Senate recall elections but by a 50-42 margin voters in the state would rather have the Democrats in control of that body than the Republicans.

Does Florida do recalls? If they do, they should recall Rick Scott.

If I were in Georgia I would try and recall Deal. Not that it would work, but it might drive the "Deal is a scumbag" message through the voters' heads.

Wait, recalls are possible in Illinois, and none of the past three governors have been hit with one?

Illinois only instituted a recall procedure after Blagojevich was impeached.

I just received an email from DailyKos (LOL) announcing a Rick Snyder recall.

They can't even start getting the signatures till January, at the earliest. You can't do recall in WI until someone's been a year into their term. The only reason they can be doing it to state senators is that those have staggered terms, so half of them are into their 3rd year.
