1. With those kinds of numbers Obama should be in Wisconsin campaigning for Barrett

in fact bring Bill Clinton in the last day before the recall

2. don't wait until the last day, Clinton should come to Milwaukee this weekend!

4. Ok

3. This is a highly-respected poll and these results are one more damning of the Marquette rigged poll.

5. yes, except that in the governor's race

the numbers really aren't that much different. Instead of being down six points as in Marquette, Barrett is down by five in this poll. Still as I pointed out in another thread the final poll of St. Norbert College in 2010 had Walker up by 9, and in the end Barrett lost by 5, which indicates undecideds went towards Barrett and the end. Let's hope that happens again this time and that Dems show up to vote in huge numbers. Another problem, though, is college students. A lot of students signed those recall petitions and now a lot of them are on summer vacation and may be out of state or in other parts of the state. Will they vote?

6. Good news for the President as we really would like to win WI

We could win without WI, but a loss there could mean bad news for other states.

I'm predicting a Barrett come from behind victory. Notice that in the governor poll, it has more Walker voters than what was representative in the last election. Some more DNC money, union enthusiasm, and visits from prominent Democrats would all help.
