Lean D in a Evers/Walker race IMO

[Sir Mohamed]

Walker can’t lose, inevitable third term. Maybe in another four years he gets a FOURTH TERM.

Senator Roy Moore approves this message.

Tossup if Evers wins the primary. Don't feel too good about this race.

This is a PPP internal for Tony Evers, for what it's worth.

Interesting in Arizona PPP runs a general election poll with the primary poll. But not in Wisconsin.  Just wondering.

Why no general election poll? PPP, unlike the Club for Growth, usually polls both the general and the primary...interesting.

#hottake: they had Walker down double digits, questioned the result, and decided not to publish it out of fear of being laughed at. But after last night's 25-point swings, not looking too unreasonable!

Lol, nice hot take, but I doubt with how low the Dems' name recognition is that they could lead Walker at all, let alone by double digits.

To be clear, I don’t think my scenario is at all likely, but it is worth noting that Walker has been sporting anemic approvals for some time now and it really shouldn’t be all too hard for people to imagine him going down, but Atlas insists on treating a guy who was laughed out of the 2016 GOP primaries (how do you get laughed out of that clownshow?) as some sort of electoral titan.

It's still hard to actually lead someone at all (let alone by double digits) with high name recognition if yours is low though, unless they're truly toxic. Probably a tie (like Frederica Wilson got against Trump, lol) is the best case scenario in that circumstance.

Can't wait to see you with that beautiful D-WI avatar when Walker gets blanched.

How do you know it was an internal poll and what does that mean?  Did Evers pay for the poll?  Did Evers feed them the list of people they wanted polled?

The poll smells fishy but I want evidence.

Lol no. PPP very often conducts polls when they are paid by specific Democratic campaigns or groups. While the techniques used by groups can vary, and PPP's have been subject to some critiques, it is considered a legitimate polling organization. As with any internal pollster, you have to take into account the potential for selective release that can accompany publicized internal polls for a campaign. Taking a poll of a specific group of people designed to be unrepresentative of the target population, however, would be a dishonest polling practice.
