    Online Poll Shows Strong Approval for Gov. Walker

    Mon, 01/23/2012 - 13:17 EDT - Dr. Mark J. Perry
    • RDF10

    Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker faces a recall election this spring.  The chart above shows the current results of an online poll being conducted by the liberal-leaning Racine Journal Times for the question "Do You Approve of the Job Gov. Walker is Doing?" Based on almost 900,000 votes so far, there is more than a two-to-one margin in favor of the response "strongly approve" over "strongly disapprove."  The issue is pretty polarizing, since almost nobody voted for either "approve" or "disapprove." If those results accurately reflect Wisconsin voters, the recall election may not succeed.  Governor Walker doesn't seem too concerned, his comment to Greta Van Susteren is to "bring it on." You can vote here, and then you'll see the most recent results. If you try to vote twice, your second vote won't count but you can still see the results. HT: Phillip Beaver
