Public Policy Polling's most recent Wisconsin poll — released on March 10 — shows Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with increased enthusiasm among Republicans in the state for his White House bid. But Walker trails well behind Hillary Clinton in a potential general election contest for the presidency.
PPP's poll of Wisconsin voters found 35 percent in the state want Walker to run for president, compared to 58 percent who don't think he should run.
The poll also shows that Walker's approval numbers have dipped over the past few months. Before the midterm election in November 2014, his approval spread was 49/47. The spread is now 43/52, with the decline among independents.
The recently signed right-to-work law might be a factor — 42 percent of voters support it, according to PPP.
In a look at hypothetical contests for president, Walker trails Clinton, with Clinton at 52 percent and Walker at 43. He also trails Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren in his home state.
The enthusiasm for Walker is in his party: 53 percent of Wisconsin GOP voters would support Walker for the presidential nomination, followed by 12 percent for Ben Carson, 8 percent for Jeb Bush, 6 percent for Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, 4 percent for Chris Christie, 3 percent for Mike Huckabee, 2 percent for Ted Cruz and 1 percent for Rick Perry.
In the state, the GOP hopeful that does the best against Clinton is Rand Paul, who would still trail 48-42.
Among Democratic voters in Wisconsin, 60 percent want Clinton to be the nominee, followed by 14 percent for Biden and 12 percent for Warren.
PPP also polled on a potential Senate race between incumbent Republican Ron Johnson and Democrat Russ Feingold, who lost the seat in 2010. Feingold gets 50 percent to 41 percent for Johnson.
Johnson would lead by 6-8 points in a contest with U.S. Reps. Mark Pocan or Gwen Moore and Mary Burke's lead over Johnson is just a point — 46/45.
Yes, but this poll was conducted via e-mail.
“Public Policy Polling’s “
Stopped reading there. One thing about PPP is that they’re honest about being pro-Dem unlike AP, Zogby or Rooters.
They were also the most accurate pollsters the last 4 cycles, IIRC, right?
Any poll this far out from election day is meant to sway, not to inform.
Besides that I don’t think Clinton will be the ‘rat nominee.
Yup. They might as well polled San Fagcisco to make this “poll”. Again, unlike the normal obama buttlickers like the AP and alphabet “news”, they’re honest to state they lean left.
Unless Warren runs who will beat her in their party? Hitlery will run. It’s all about pride and arrogance with her.
I think PIAPS is in the process of being taken out by the Obamanoids right now. Warren said she would not run as long a Clinton is in, so Obama is taking Clinton out.
I just don’t think she cares about bad press except as to how it affects her polling. She lives for that place in history as first female presidential nominee of a major party. Mind you i don’t think she wins the general but nothing will stop her from running.
Walker beat the polls in the past
A PPP poll are normally very biased...
Pretty worthless except for making libtards wet their panties. ..
through @clintonemail.com?
If either Clinton or Warren was the nominee, does anyone here doubt that they would run away with the Democrat vote, and get the majority of the middle?
Clinton is like the movie “Weekend at Bernie’s”. She’s being propped up in the hopes nobody will notice that her candidacy is ‘dead’. The Media have chosen sides. Some are clearly covering for Hillary, but those loyal to the WH are feeding the story with leaks emanating from there. Meanwhile the Dem party are mulling their options. When they settle on a canditdate (the next Obama) Hillary will drop like a rock.
Not that I believe this particular poll, but, as a general rule, if Walker can’t win WI, his value as a candidate is seriously diminished.
First these polls are poorly run. Second the MSM seems to want Hillary out of the mix. Not marxist enough. I doubt she will be the Dhimmi candidate.
When they play the survey straight, they tend to be fairly accurate. However, that is not the case when PPP, a democrat is pursuing its agenda. Right after Todd Akin imploded in 2012 and he was getting pressure to bow out, PPP ran a poll showing Akin still leading McCaskill by 1 point. Hidden in that survey was an R+9 sampling. PPP, like their democrat sponsors, wanted Akin to stay put. And it worked.
I doubt that Wisconsin has gone over to the Red side, but this poll only show that if you ask the right people the right questions, you can get the results you want to push.
