New Wisconsin Poll: Walker Leads...by 12

...Point: The Democrat only bests New Hitler by three points among public union households?  C'mon. Counterpoint: The sample size is more than legit for a state-level poll, and the MOE is rather low...so is gut-level incredulity enough to wave these results off?  In any case, what lessons might we derive these numbers?  First off, it's unquestionably an outlier, so don't pop the cork just yet.  Most other polls peg Walker's lead at 5 or 6 points, although another survey released this week shows Walker's advantage swelling to eight.  Plus, the miniscule percentage of undecided voters tracks closely with other polling, so that also checks out.  Though I'm extremely dubious that Walker is on track to hammer Barrett by 12 points (double his 2010 victory margin), I'm willing to buy that his lead could be creeping into commanding territory.  He's got all the momentum:  Not only is Barrett dealing with the major headache of explaining allegedly gamed violent crime statistics in Milwaukee, Walker's been buoyed with favorable news.  As we reported last week, official jobs figures now show that the state has added 33,000 net jobs since Walker took office last year, and a new study confirms that Walker's controversial reforms have saved Wisconsin taxpayers $1 Billion:...

Just made my night.  :cheersmate:
 You can't call fraud what is won by a landslide.

(well OK the DUmmies will call fraud. But then, they are DUmmies for a reason.)

Glad to see the recall there looks like it will fall - even the Democrats are trying to downplay June 5th already. Scott Walker is no Gray Davis.
