54% in Wisconsin Oppose Recall of GOP Governor Walker - Rasmussen Reports™

I'm disappointed this number isn't more like 58%, but that's just how divided this state is. Even though Walker has done what he said he would do, and is doing his job he was elected to do by 1,128,159 voters (a 52% majority) you would think more Dems and I's would realize the way to get your person in is by winning an election, not recalling someone whose policies you disagree with. There's a reason this will be only the 3rd gubernatorial recall in the history of this country, and my guess is the other two were due to corruption, something unethical or immoral, what have you.

Our Governor is an Eagle Scout, the son of a minister, who somehow, incredibly stays positive every day, doesn't attack (he just praised Senator Holperin (WI Dem Senator) in a tweet a few minutes ago) anyone personally, and just stays laser focused on his mission to turn this state around.

Want to meet the Governor? Start a company that creates 5 jobs and he will be there to help you open it!

Today, the Governor is supported by somewhere between 52 and 54%, somewhere in there. I still believe, and hope, that he will win the recall election with 56-58%, picking up additional % points for the opposition's lousy candidate, their boorish behavior, the realization this recall was totally uncalled for and a huge waste of taxpayer time and money, and because the reforms are working (see Illinois for the drastic, side-by-side comparison of what works and what doesn't).

It is up to all of us to make sure these points are hammered home in your circle of influence. Let's take advantage of this, and expose the sore losers for what they are; sore losers. There is no reason we can't win this by a greater margin than last time. None.

Also, the first WI Senate polls are here; Another awful candidate, leftist Tammy Baldwin, getting trounced early by Thompson & Neumann, even with Fitz. No surprise, and good to see.
