An overwhelming majority of Wisconsin voters are unhappy with Gov. Scott Walker’s decision to run for President, according to a Marquette Law School poll released Thursday.
Nearly two-thirds of Wisconsin voters, 63 percent, said they did not like Walker’s decision to run, the survey found.
In addition, the poll found, Walker’s support for his presidential run among GOP primary voters in Wisconsin has nose-dived from earlier this year. He still leads the other 16 Republican rivals, but the latest poll showed he had 25 percent support, compared with 40 percent before he entered the race.
Former neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson was the only other candidate to poll in double digits among primary voters, with 13 percent.
Fifty-seven percent of voters overall disapproved of how Walker is handling his governorship, according to the survey.
The poll was conducted among 802 registered voters, 334 of whom were Republicans, in Wisconsin from August 13 to 16 via landline and cellphone. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.3 percent. The Republican margin of error was plus or minus 6.6 percent.
