The tides are turning:

Walker and his Republican-TeaParty are going against the majority of Wisconsinites. He will lose in 2014

Support for same-sex marriage has grown up over last year. 53% now favor, 24% favor civil unions, 19% opposed to both. #mulawpoll

36% favor rejecting federal funds to expand Medicaid to include those slightly over poverty line, 56% oppose. #mulawpoll

Requiring women seeking an abortion to have an ultrasound: 38% favor, 56% oppose. #mulawpoll
