Poll: Scott Walker's 5 Point Lead Disappeared
Talking Points Memo ^ | 10-15-2014 | Daniel Strauss

Posted on 10/15/2014 3:24:05 PM PDT by Bettyprob

A new Marquette Law School poll finds the Wisconsin gubernatorial race tied with Gov. Scott Walker (R) and Democratic challenger Mary Burke each getting 47 percent support among likely voters.

The most recent Marquette poll's findings, released on Wednesday, contrast a previous Marquette poll which showed Walker leading Burke by 5 percentage points.

The most recent poll's findings underscore what other polls have shown about the race: that Walker and Burke are only separated by a small margin.

The new Marquette poll also suggests that Burke has, at the very least, not totally lost her chance to win the race in the wake of revelations that a staffer on her campaign seems to have plagiarized from other past Democratic campaigns.

The new poll was conducted among 803 likely voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

The TPM Polltracker average finds Walker with a 0.4 point lead over Burke.

“This is a Clinton operation, period. Walker is not only talented and brave, he doesn’t have a college degree, bolstering his cross over appeal w blue collar voters.

Walker is the best. Vote for him, wisconsin. We are looking at the next president if he is re-elected.”

You could not be more correct! :)

“Wisconsin is not really going to put the cancer back in charge, right? “

WTF is wrong with the people in Wisconsin? Are they that stupid?

Scott Walker "Decision" ad on abortion. This has been running on TV nearly every night in prime time. Sounds like abortion is here to stay as well.

"What I’ve said repeatedly is we need to fix the immigration system, but fix the legal system. So if people want to come in this country we should have a legal immigration system.”

Walker just can't say "FOLLOW THE LAW AND DEPORT ALL ALIEN INVADERS BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY."

Walker supports "Pathway to Citizenship"...THAT'S AMNESTY...and that will destroy America forever.

Is this wishful thinking on the part of the Libitard Press?

He’s never won by nine lengths, but he’s won election, won the recall, and will win reelection, even in Leftconsin.
