MJS recall elections reader comment of the day

Occasionally they are insightful:
PPP's last poll in 2010 on the WI governor's race had it Walker winning 53-44. The final results were 52.5% to 46.7%. That is, PPP was off in favor of the Republican candidate. That is, they overstated the strength of the Republican.

Their final poll in the WI 2010 senate race had Johnson winning 53-44. The final results was 51.9% to 47.0%. That is, PPP was off in favor of the Republican candidate.

Their poll for the Hansen recall had Hansen winning 62-34. Hansen ended up winning (GAB doesn't have a 'final' result posted yet) around 64% to 36%. Here they had the result just about exactly right, a 28 point margin.

WISGOP sounds a little desperate to impugn these polls, aina?

Because people like to vote for winners and these are WISGOP bad news.

As far as the removal, we are working on it. It will be close.
