“Now Walker takes the same Marquette poll seven-point advantage into the election that he had before the 2012 recall election, which he won by 6.8 points.”
Wow polling average is much tighter:
“Walker led Burke by seven points among likely voters in the Marquette poll released Wednesday, 50 percent to 43 percent. Walker went up by three percentage points since a 47-47 tie in the last Marquette poll two weeks earlier, while Burke dropped four points.
When added to 27 other polls conducted since September 2013, that result put Walker ahead by 1.2 points in the two-party model designed by UW-Madison doctoral candidate Brad Jones. (See the latest update to the model at go.madison.com/govrace.)”
