Discussion: Poll: Scott Walker's 5 Point Lead Disappeared

Or just ask his supporters to vote more than once.
Or just have republican run Boards of Elections lose bags of ballots the night of Nov. 4th.

There might be some new possibilities; they are working out the details as we speak.

Scott Walker’s 5 Point Lead Disappeared

Perhaps Walker’s:

**- Anti-women

  • Anti-environment
  • Anti-healthcare
  • Anti-public schools
  • Anti-local government
  • Anti-right to vote**

will persuade more voters to VOTE to defeat Walker and bring his (AKA: Koch) presidential ambitions to an end.

How did you forget anti-union?

What was Walker’s eventual winning margin in 2010 and in the recall? Democrats are often underpolled and this election cycle will be no different.

More proof that the “left leaning media” is just a figment of somebody’s imagination.

Walker won by 6.8 points in 2012 and 5.7 points in 2010, so fairly close to what the polls predicted two-weeks out. Walker was consistently polling about 2-4 points ahead of where he landed in 2010, but again that was before the MU poll burst on the scene. MU is pretty well respected and have great accuracy so far (though they have only been around for a few years, so not much of a track record to go on). In the 2012 recall election, the MU polling had him ahead by 1 point 5-weeks out and then steadily growing his lead to the 7-point victory he ended up with.

In the 2012 presidential election, the MU poll had Obama up by only 1 point two-weeks before the election (following that first debate). They had him up by 8 points with one week to go. Obama won Wisconsin by 7 points.

In 2010 Charles Franklin was working at UW Madison, doing the polls from there.

Franklin was a Prof at UW Madison, but was he doing polling while there? I know he was doing analysis of outside polls, but I don’t think he was actually conducting polls. I can’t find historical record of any. He started polling for MU in 2012 as a visiting professor and joined their faculty in 2013. Prior to the MU poll, people used to rely on the WPR/St. Norbett numbers.

Pic does a great job of making him look like Himmler. Wonder if he has a cyanide capsule in his mouth?

After the election, pull these polls out and draw a line from each Democratic winner’s high point in those polls to the actual final results tacked onto the end of the chart… all those ups and downs in between were media pollster fantasy meant to keep those struggling billionaires pouring their easy money into ad revenues via Citizens United-spawned entities.

Sorry, but it has happened so many times, and when a Republican wins by a few points, they typically never trailed, their trajectory throughout is just as I have described, a straight, almost flat line from their high point to the final results.

Think I’m wrong?

Go do it. Check it out for yourself.

Can you “plagarize” yourself? The writing were by the same person for different candidates.

I wonder how much influence Mittch (yes, I meant it that way) had on this bogus story hitting the oldstream media the way it did?

It’s all going to come down to turn-out and county election officials!

He’s running for the Colorado Springs district. 'Nuff said.

Interesting little article – a “disgraced Navy chaplain” to boot!

Now what needs to disappear is his presence from Wisconsin political life. The blue team needs to work overtime to make that happen.

Not legally, but the charge has been made for centurys, maybe millennia, by invidious critics of writers, composers and painters.

Walkerstan may need to be renamed Burkeburg.
