...In recent weeks, Gov. Scott Walker (click here) has carved out a narrow lead over challenger Mary Burke among the most likely voters, even though the race hasn’t changed — and remains deadlocked — among registered voters overall.
When you pool together the two polls released by the Marquette University Law School in the past three weeks, Walker leads Burke by 5 points — 50% to 45% — among those who say they are “absolutely certain to vote.”
By contrast, Burke leads by 11 points — 47% to 36% — among those who say they’re less than certain to vote.
Walker’s job rating is positive — 52% approve, 46% disapprove — among the most likely voters. But it’s negative — 40% approve, 49% disapprove — among less likely voters....
This is crazy. With all the problems average citizens have had due to the election of Walker the decision is simple, vote! The unions should not have problems with voter turnout, their nightmare is over if they have high voter turnout.
This poll alone proves voter suppression and the vastly different political outcomes if laws that disfavor voter turnout. There should not be barriers to voting. This is an amazing poll. Wow.
The electorate across the country, but, especially where voter suppression efforts are a work, their participation in elections solves their own problem. The vote is powerful when exercised. People should never stay home. Voting is acting in your own best interest.

Crossroads GPS (click here) is inserting itself into the Louisiana Senate contest for the first time Tuesday, spending $2.1 million to put up a 30-second spot that hammers Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu for her support of Obamacare.
It is shameful money like this can be used to turn an election. It isn't really about what the people think, so much as saturating the media. This type of stuff can't make a good impression on the global community either. It really is shameful and doesn't say good things about the people. Our country must appear to have a hollow moral core when this is how elections are bought.
Mary is a good Senator that always has the people of Louisiana on her lips. I have rarely seen her appear in committee or on the floor without those words, "...the people of Louisiana..." She is good for Louisiana.
