Support for Republican Governors Collapses
If you only listened to right wing talk radio, you'd probably come away with the belief that the race to the bottom policies of Republican Governors across America were popular. They're rising stars!! Polling suggests otherwise as the support for Governors like Scott Walker has plummeted as they've introduced their radical agendas:
Our own Gov. Walker comes out better than most with an approval rating of 43%. The next time you hear that these folks are doing "the work of the people", think again.
They're unpopular. Their policies are unpopular. If most people had to do it again, they probably wouldn't have been elected. But it's not about doing what people want, it's about pushing an ideological agenda that will get you more time on Fox News and put you into consideration for a VP nomination in 2012.

Dan, do you see any issues with the chosen measurement? Do you believe the measurement they decided to use supports the headline? Genuinely interested readers want to know.

Man … I hope you truly don’t believe that. That or you need to get out more. Did you know that Wisconsin != Milwaukee + Madison?
I know you hate Scott Walker and of course had to throw in a “Fox News” for a good laugh. What’s next .. “KOCH BROTHERS!”? lol
And that chart!? OMG Dan… please tell me you at least REALIZE that thing is crap, but you decided to use it anyway. I mean, knowing that thing is bunk and using it anyway is shady, but I think better than not realizing it’s bunk and believing it!
What about your President? Why isn’t he on the chart? His policies must be so popular. It’s delusional to not even notice that point. The fact is Scott Walker’s approval rating has bottomed out at 43% which isn’t even that bad. Where was this chart when Doyle was governor? You can forget about a recall but I beg you guys to waste the resources and allow Walker to win again empowering him even more while at the same time demorilizing your base and putting him in a great position for 2014. I’d personally focus on the Senate seat you guys have to defend.
I thought he was every American’s President? If he were a Governor, or his approval ratings had dropped by double digits in the last six months perhaps he’d be on the chart. But good strawman with the President/Doyle/recalls.
