that showed Walker leading Barrett by 5, then 4? Where did all of the polls go? Can you tell me where they've gone? Why don't I see his disgusting grin plastered all over the place right now? Where are you, Scottie? What's going on?

Calling it the Marquette Law School poll is a lame attempt to give it cred.

(39,171 posts)Mr. Walker leads his Democratic opponent, Mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee, by an average of six percentage points in those polls and has not trailed in any poll since February.
Some polls issued by Democratic-affiliated groups have shown a somewhat tighter race, with Mr. Barrett trailing by about three percentage points instead. Partisan-affiliated polls have a long track record of somewhat exaggerating their candidates standing, however, and it may be telling that even these polls do not show Mr. Barrett ahead.
In a typical November election, a 6-point lead with two weeks to go would translate into a high probability of winning roughly on the order of 90 percent, based on the historical accuracy of polls of governors races.

Let's hope he is wrong this time.
