MADISON, Wisconsin (Reuters) - Wisconsin voters would narrowly favor Governor Scott Walker's Democratic opponent if the November, 2010 election were repeated, according to partial poll results released on Monday.
Walker has stirred national debate and the largest demonstrations in Wisconsin since the Vietnam War with his proposal to strip public sector unions of most collective bargaining rights.
Walker won the November 2, 2010 election 52 to 46 percent for Democrat Tom Barrett, with the remainder of the vote to minor candidates.
Public Policy Polling of Raleigh, North Carolina said a new poll showed if the election were replayed now, the result would be almost exactly flipped, with Democrat Tom Barrett getting 52 percent and Walker 45 percent, with four percent not sure.
The shift in voter sentiment away from Walker was attributed to households with at least one union member, the polling group said. More details of the poll will be released on Tuesday.
The poll surveyed 768 Wisconsin voters from February 24 to 27. Those surveyed were also asked how they voted in the November election and 47 percent said for Walker and 47 percent for Barrett.

al rooters BS
Let the Union Thugs and libtards keep digging.
What a joke. 768 likely Democrats were polled.
Christie’s numbers dropped initially too. Be prepared for them to drop. They will come back up. He is an honest broker, he will be validated.
How lucky for them that they found households to poll with at least one union member!
Who knew???
;)
Lamestream media is bailing as fast as they can, but the public service unions are still sinking.
PPP is the KOS kooks. Enough said.
These people are going to run interference for the next two years.
Latest poll says Palin is unelectable.
Latest poll says Hussein can’t be beat.
Latest poll says Repubs on the ropes.
Etc Etc.

LOL....a Democrat polling outfit. Guess this article forgot to mention that this is a biased poll.
ROTFL!!! This “poll” is a real hoot! The buffoons in the state run “media” want us to believe that the people in Wisconsin are suffering from “buyer’s remorse” ALREADY? Knuckledragging Communists are the sorriest bunch ever to infest the planet.
Never underestimate their capacity for evil, though, no matter how "sorry" they are.
I guess there are a lot more dumbass voters in Wisconsin than I previously thought.
Part of the intense propaganda effort to get 3 GOP Senators to flip. Rumors out there are that one already has.
this is not good.
Walker is the front line of good sense and courage that realizes America is out of money, and he is doing everything he can to save Wisconisin and the country. While the people he opposes are nothing but greedy parasites who care only about themselves.
if walker loses or pays a political price for doing the right thing, it will be a huge step toward the destruction of this country.
*Poll conducted of clueless, bored, and/or cheap individuals still using a landline as their primary phone number - a subset of whom are gullible enough to answer the phone during the dinner hour and reveal their innermost thoughts to an unseen stranger.
National bankruptcy sounds exciting to the liberals
Let’s see if those results hold up when the Democrats’ union money dries up.
Its a long time before 2014 rolls around.
This is ok. Even Reagan was unpopular (very unpopular) at the very beginning.
Parents are unpopular with their kids when they force them to deal with the REAL WORLD, not the fantasy life of X-Boxes that they strive for. But parents get a lot more popular with their kids later on, when those kids can read and do math, even those their (public school ‘educated’) friends can do neither.

It's worse than I thought - there are people desperate enough to repond to a ROBOPOLL. Get a hobby!
