Apparently, an extended standoff with state workers at the state capitol in Wisconsin has not worked wonders for Gov. Scott Walker's popularity. Voters who are not part of union households have barely shifted at all -- they report having voted for Walker by 7 points last fall and they still say they would vote for Walker by a 4 point margin. But in households where there is a union member voters now say they'd go for Barrett by a 31 point margin, up quite a bit from the 14 point advantage they report having given him in November. And it's mostly Republicans who are shifting their support. Roughly 10 percent of GOP members now say they would vote for Barrett, up from the 3 percent of Republican voters who actually supported him over the Democrat in November.
According to a survey from Public Policy Polling, Wisconsin voters say in a hypothetical rematch they would now vote for defeated Democratic nominee Tom Barrett over Walker by a 52-45 margin.
Walker beat Barrett by roughly that same margin in November.
PPP says the shift can almost entirely be attributed to union affiliation, a demographic that Walker may have expected he would mildly alienate when he began putting efforts in motion to strip state workers of collective bargaining rights.
According to the PPP blog:
All in all, PPP says this could spell trouble for Republicans hoping to build on the 2010 victories in Wisconsin.

New graphic for any future campaign literature for Governor Wanker Walker to use.
This just means the Koch brothers would have to spend another couple of million to buy the election for him again.

Which means precisely dick. As to the value of the article overall, it's your standard propaganda. Predictable in its slant, and simply boring.
Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum. "You want me to kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, I'll kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, Rebs, or Sioux, or Cheyenne... For 500 bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free." Algren, "The Last Samurai" So Obama should resign right. America hates him and his anti American agenda. He wasn't born her. He isn't a cultural American. He is a muslim. Flies land on him regularly because he is a piece of shit crackhead.
