Party composition of the sample
In this poll, Republicans make up 24 percent of the registered voter sample with Democrats at 30 percent and independents at 40 percent.
Over all Marquette Law School Polls conducted in 2014, with 8,041 registered voters, Republicans totaled 26 percent while Democrats totaled 30 percent and independents 40 percent. In 2014, Republicans varied between 24 and 29 percent while Democrats varied between 28 and 32 percent. Independents varied between 37 and 44 percent.
ha!
Walker can’t even win his own state. Cruz is the man, and the GOP needs to settle this early so he can focus in the general election.
Hmmm...a classic MU poll when the results don’t count for sh!t.
Just a word of caution when it comes to our local MU poll is that their samples are wildly screwy until the reputation of the poller in on the line and they suddenly reflect the voting public with around a week to go in an election.
MU poll drives media discussion and that’s really about it.
Big deal, when was the last time Wisconsin voted for a Republican for president?
It’s going to be a long 18 months..
Walker is a candidate? Didn’t think so...
Where is the Poll that Scott and Hillary are on? She is obviously in Scott's way if she is ahead. I hope she falls off.
Imagine two baskets of fruit, one filled with oranges, and the other filled with apples. People indicate their preference for the best fruit in each basket. Turns out that 40% of respondents prefer Valencia oranges; with the remainder divided among Blood, Naval and Kona oranges, along with a Tangerine. On the other hand, 50% indicated a preference for the Granny Smith apple, with the rest divided between the other varieties of apples, in the apple basket.
Which do people prefer more: a Valencia orange, or a Granny Smith apple?
Looking at a possible 2016 Senate race, former Sen. Russ Feingold leads Sen. Ron Johnson 54 percent to 38 percent.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and his potential opponents in the upcoming recall election are locked in a dead heat, according to a new poll out Tuesday.
Walker looks set to have very close races with whoever ends up as his Democratic opponent, although voters are split — 49 percent to 49 percent — on whether they support recalling the governor before his term is up,
Final result -- Walker won 54% to 45%.
IIRC, Scott Walker trailed in all three of his elections by 5-7 points according to the polls ... yet won all three by 5-7 points. Go figure.
The election is how far off?
If Marquette polls were accurate, I don’t think Walker would have ever been Governor.
While I could believe Clinton and Feingold leading, those margins are implausible, as is the 41% approval rating.
People of the interests mentioned in the quotes and links in my last comment would rather have a Republican candidate who makes radical promises that he won’t follow through on while making more serious backstage promises to continue the cash flow to their big government interests.
In other words, Walker’s Republican opponents have the usual plan: to continue big spending for those who promise much monetary and vote support: many kinds of government employees, administrators, politicians, contractors and other government-linked businesses. But many of those same constituents posing as conservatives in political discussions and surveys may well vote for the Democrat in the end.
New FR poll finds FR members think MU pollers are on crack.
100% of those polled agreed that not only are MU pollers on crack, but they are batcrap crazy to boot.

Another worthless registered voter poll with leftist oversampling.
