It would be nice to live on your planet, where you never have to deal with reality
The truth--voters have a serious case of buyers remorse in Wisconsin that looks like it's only going to get worse with time if he keeps acting like a dictator vs. a leader. The entire country is watching Walker, and Wisconsin is shaping the public debate on public sector union rights (and state budget cuts) in other states. I've said this before, but if the R's wanted to pick the one issue that would divide their own party, and push moderate R's and Dem's together, this would be it.
oh please. He's doing exactly what he said he would do. I know it's hard for a politician to do what he promised to do, but he's doing what he was hired to do and good for him. The unions think that they are better than the rest of the state. They are the only ones who shouldn't have to feel the effects of what they started. Meaning demanding that the sate take care of them more than needed and screw those kids. Their entitlements are more important.
It was enough to create a 6 point shift down for him. In a state like Wisconsin with heavier union membership than most, that doesn't bode well for the republican party there. You don't seem to realize this, but there are more union republican homes than you think.

So you're in the 30% who support this--goody for you.
Too bad the election isn't for a few more years. Elections have consequences. Now, where have I heard that one before??
Elections have consequences, but so do actions. If elected officials do things while in office that are WRONG, people fight back. They can't recall Walker for a year, but if he keeps this up, he may be a one year vs. a one term governor.
Let me get this right, when Obama or any democrat bucks public opinion its call being unresponsive or worse. Now if it's some reactionary, like Walker, it's leadership.

3 points. Walker won by 7 points.
As I recall, Daniels also took a beating in the polls when he rescinded CB...but he won re-election by a landslide.

Sorry, not seeing it.
What do you call moving from 52 to 45? The numbers are identically reversed since the last election. Actually Barret got 46% in the fall, so Walker won by 6%--now he's down by 7%.

On what grounds would they have to recall him? For trying to balance the state budget and bring it back from the brink of bankruptcy? Good luck with that, and be sure to let us know how that work out for you in a year from now.
