Scott Walker speaks during the Iowa Agriculture Summit in Des Moines, Iowa. Known for his accessibility and willingness to always be available to take questions, even after the most routine appearances, Walker has suddenly become much harder to reach as he ramps up for a likely 2016 presidential campaign and deals with a series of flubs and shifts in position on hot button issues.

In the wake of a poll last week showing low approval ratings for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), a second poll released on Wednesday found Walker’s approval rating slipping as well.

Just 41 percent of Wisconsin residents approved of Walker while 58 percent disapproved, according to a poll released by St. Norbert College, Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Public Television.

Last week, a Marquette University poll found that 41 percent of registered voters approved of Walker while 56 percent disapproved. Charles Franklin, who conducted the Marquette poll, said it that the poll found Walker’s lowest approval numbers since 2012.

St. Norbert College, Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Public Television surveyed 600 Wisconsin residents via phone April 8-17 with a margin of error plus or minus 4 percentage points.
