Burke (D)- 48% Walker (R)- 44% Other- 2% Not sure- 6% Both are getting about 90% with their parties. They're splitting Independents 44/44 whereas Walker carried them 56/42 in 2010. Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Lief 🗽 on September 04, 2014, 05:30:22 PM ()

Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Potus on September 04, 2014, 05:45:55 PM Junk poll. Barack Obama doesn't have a 44-48 approval rating, period.

Ottimo, eccellente. :D Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Fuzzybigfoot on September 04, 2014, 05:49:46 PM Walker's gonna sit down after he stops...
...Walking 8) YEAAHHHHHHHHHH Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: backtored on September 04, 2014, 06:26:35 PM Wow.
It's hard to know what to make of these gubernatorial races. I tend to think that this is going to be a wonderful Republican year. But then you see poll like this. Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Maxwell on September 04, 2014, 06:29:37 PM I feel like things are normalling from 2008 and 2010, which means Democrats gain Governorships and Republicans gain Senate seats (though Republicans seem to be screwing the pooch there too!)

Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Fuzzybigfoot on September 04, 2014, 06:50:41 PM Wow. It's hard to know what to make of these gubernatorial races. I tend to think that this is going to be a wonderful Republican year. But then you see poll like this. What makes you think this would be in the first place? Other than the fact that a bunch of Democratic senators in GOP states are retiring, the Dems are, for the most part, likely to hold their own in the gubernatorial/house races.

Other than the fact that a bunch of Democratic senators in GOP states are retiring, the Dems are, for the most part, likely to hold their own in the gubernatorial/house races. Exactly, it's not going to be a "wonderful" Republican year, or a wonderful year for either party. Because both parties are in power and both are unpopular. Hatred for the other party isn't enough for a wonderful year, your party has to be really appealing, like Dems were in 2006 or Republicans were in 2010. This isn't gonna be a banner year for either party, and in theory should be a fairly neutral one when you weight the sixth-year losses against the sh*tty state of the GOP/their general unpopularity (1998 style), but what's actually happening is what IDS Emperor Maxwell said-- things normalizing from 08 and 10.

Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: KCDem on September 04, 2014, 09:13:11 PM WAA is a junk firm. Throw it out.
Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Free Bird on September 04, 2014, 09:40:06 PM WAA is a junk firm. Throw it out. Holy crap I agree with KC on something Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Gass3268 on September 04, 2014, 10:27:04 PM This isn't good for Walker, WAA tends to lean R.
Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Flake on September 04, 2014, 10:29:15 PM WAA is a junk firm. Throw it out. ^ It's definitely a great poll from a GOP leaning pollster for Burke, but WAA is pretty terrible nonetheless. Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: IceSpear on September 04, 2014, 11:06:45 PM >WAA
Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Tender Branson on September 05, 2014, 05:53:30 AM Hopefully Burke doesn't peak too early ...
But they way this is going, Walker will get clobbered in the direction of 53-46. Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Gass3268 on September 05, 2014, 07:49:59 AM Junk poll. Barack Obama doesn't have a 44-48 approval rating, period. RCP average approval rating is 41.7/52.7. Obama doing 3ish points better in Wisconsin isn't that out of the question. Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: henster on September 05, 2014, 01:38:52 PM Obama approval rating will not be the same throughout the country WI is a blue state not unusual his approvals would be higher there same as MN.
Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Anti Democrat Democrat Club on September 05, 2014, 02:54:48 PM WAA is okay nationwide (and only seems to be junk in Illinois), but there's obviously reason to be skeptical here.
Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: ElectionsGuy on September 05, 2014, 03:31:36 PM Isn't WAA republican leaning? So by that logic Burke should be leading by more? This seems junk to me, Obama's favor-ability ratings are too good and Burke's huge lead with women seems weird. But any way we put this, Walker is vulnerable.
Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Holmes on September 07, 2014, 11:49:29 AM Well, America was asked, and America has overwhelmingly chosen to reject the Republicans in Wisconsin. Dominating!

I don't know anymore Title: Re: WI: WAA: Burke in the lead Post by: Potus on September 07, 2014, 02:37:48 PM Obama approval rating will not be the same throughout the country WI is a blue state not unusual his approvals would be higher there same as MN. SUSA has him at 38% approval in Minnesota. He's not better off in Wisconsin than Minnesota. WAA is a junk poll and a bunch of red avvies are hypocrites for saying otherwise.

I agree with you that WAA is a junk pollster, but the national polls are pretty consistent that Obama has a 40-42% approval rating nationally. It wouldn't make any sense to be doing worse in MN/WI than nationally, and he should be doing a tad better in those states.
