According to a new Marquette Law School poll the governor leads Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, a likely candidate, 50 percent to 44 percent. He leads former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, the only declared Democratic candidate, 49 percent to 42 percent margin, former Rep. David Obey 49 percent to 43 percent and state Sen. Tim Cullen 50 percent to 40 percent.
After a year of union and left-wing attacks, most Wisconsinites know the issues well by now. As a result, as union bosses dump more and more money that would otherwise be earmarked for other Democrat races, it is not likely to affect Walker’s poll numbers too dramatically, which may prove to be a win-win for Republicans around the country and in Wisconsin.
Just the other day, the leading challenger, State Sen. Tim Cullen, dropped out of the race. Newly filed campaign finance reports show Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett with more than $414,000 on hand for a potential run, compared with just less than $26,000 for Kathleen Falk, and a little more than 20,000 for state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout.Those numbers are small compared with the more than $2.6 million on hand in Walker's most recent report.
