A new poll done over the weekend should serve as encouraging news to embattled Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), who is facing a recall election on June 5.
In the statewide automated survey of likely voters conducted by We Ask America on Sunday, Walker holds a 9-point lead over Democratic nominee Tom Barrett. Walker claims the support of 52 percent, while Barrett trails with 43 percent. The poll has a margin of error of 2.81 percentage points.
We Ask America made clear that the race is “fluid” and far from over. The TPM Poll Average currently shows Walker with a nearly 7-point lead over Barrett, who claimed the Democratic Party’s nomination last week.
