3rd Time Around

Posted by admin on Sep 4, 2014 in Polls

We Ask America jumps back into conducting public polls this week in a handful of Midwestern states…starting with one of our favorites: Wisconsin.

............

This time around, Walker faces Democrat Mary Burke, a former TREK bicycle executive and State Secretary of Commerce. Burke doesn’t provide the same type of easy contrast that Walker was able to use in the past against his opponents. The race has gotten increasingly nasty, with much of the clamor coming from outside political forces. Like all governors from both political parties, Walker ticks people off daily with decisions he must make as a sitting chief executive…although he seems to have mitigated his bull-in-the-china-shop ways. But Walker fell short on some lofty job-creation promises–perhaps due to factors out of his control–and he’s wearing the collar for that among other challenges he faces.

Burke isn’t getting by easy either. Since she has a record of public service, political pathologists have found plenty of things to talk about from her past stint as Commerce Secretary and she’s getting labeled as an outsourcer for sending jobs to China at TREK.

So, is Wisconsin prepared to elect Scott Walker for a third time in four years, or will Mary Burke be able to succeed where others have failed?

We asked 1,170 likely voters whether they preferred Republican Scott Walker, Democrat Mary Burke or a third-party candidate for Wisconsin governor. Here’s what they said:
Poll type: Automated - Date: 9/3/2014 - Participants: 1,170 Likely Voters - Margin of Error: ± 3%


WALKER BURKE 3RD PARTY UNDECIDED
All Voters 44% 48% 2% 6%
***BY GENDER***
Women 39% 54% 2% 5%

1. Sinking like a rock, we hope.

2. Look at the gender gap!

Women prefer Burke 54-39, men prefer Walker 49-43. We really need women to show up.

3. and take someone to the poll (someone who usually does not

vote)---get them registered.

5. It's all about voter turn-out

I hope everyone who's opposed to Walker will put in a little extra effort and try to get a few people to vote who otherwise might not bother. It can be as simple as offering to drive them to the polling place.

4. a bit of information about the pollster:

Cautiously good news: Burke up by four percent over Walker, according to GOP-leaning pollster based in Illinois
