I had expected Walker to lead by more than this, given his comeback in the recall election. Perhaps that year he benefitted from people who opposed his policies but felt that the recall process was being abused. I hope that he wins big in any event.

…do you really think that Americans have the mental capacity to know anything about the “recall process”?! Or care?!
Why is it this close given the economic success of WI under Walker?
i think we need him to win somewhat comfortably so he hopefully can be considered more presidential material.
I would really like to see the internals of this poll.
The last two Marquette Law School polls oversampled democrats and had similar results.
If they are using 2012 turnout models, this isn’t even close to reality. IMHO, the Sheriff Clarke victory showed that the GOP is more motivated in Wisconsin.
The democrats also do not have the OFA machine this year. They had a huge, computerized operation to drag every potential dem voter to the polls in 2012. In 2012, the local operation was large and very well funded. This year, they have a storefront and have had trouble getting candidates.
