More bad news for the Left: the latest Daily Kos/PPP poll shows Governor Scott Walker with a 50-45% lead over his Democratic challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (who lost to Walker in 2010). These numbers are slightly better for the Governor than the last Daily KOS/PPP poll, which gave him a 49-45% lead. In the new poll, 2% favor an independent candidate and 3% are undecided.
If the attempt to recall Walker flops, the organized labor/Democratic Party jihad against him and his reforms will go down as one of the most egregious political blunders in American history. The debacle would demoralize the unions and the Democratic base ahead of the November ballot, and shift into the tossup column a state that Barack Obama carried by a twelve-point margin in 2010. Political malpractice? You be the judge…
