Conservative robopollster has a majority of WI disapproving of Gov. Walker's budget plan.
Below are results of the poll, entire article can be found at the link below:

For those reasons, we polled nearly 2,400 Wisconsin residents last night about the issue and their views of the Senate Democrats’ disappearing act. Besides some demographic questions we asked two main questions. The first one was:

As you may know, Gov. Scott Walker has proposed a plan to limit the pay of government workers and teachers, increase their share of the cost of benefits, and strip some public-employ unions of much of their power. We’d like to know if APPROVE or DISAPPROVE of Gov. Walker’s plan.

Here are those results:
Type of Poll: Automated
Sample: 2,397 Wisconsin residents
Date of Poll: 2/17/201
Margin of Error: ±2.0%

APPROVE DISAPPROVE UNCERTAIN

OVERALL 43.05% 51.90% 5.05%

BY GENDER
Female 39.53% 54.47% 6.00%
Male 47.72% 48.50% 3.78%

BY UNION / NON UNION HOUSEHOLDS
Union 33.08% 63.75% 3.17%
Non-union 47.95% 46.08% 5.97%

BY AGE BRACKET
18-24 32.43% 62.16% 5.41%
25-34 43.94% 52.27% 3.79%
35-44 41.14% 52.85% 6.01%
45-54 45.61% 50.76% 3.63%
55-64 43.29% 54.03% 2.68%
65+ 42.30% 50.13% 7.58%



Then we asked them:

It was reported today that Democratic state senators have left the capitol in order to prevent a vote of Gov. Walker’s measures. Do you think that the Democratic state senators should return to the state capitol to vote on the issue?

Here’s their responses to that question:
