MADISON (WKOW) -- A new Marquette Law School Poll shows Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) and Hillary Clinton (D) both leading their respective presidential primary races by a margin of 12 percentage points.

Gov. Walker is leading the Republican field with 25 percent of the vote, followed neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 13 percent and businessman Donald Trump at 9 percent.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Clinton leads the Democratic field with 44 percent of the vote, followed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) with 32 percent.

Clinton leads all Republican challengers in hypothetical head-to-head match-ups, including Gov. Walker, by a 52-42% margin.

1. Hillary will clean their clock there.

2016 is the beginning of the end for the GOPNRAteahadists in Wisconsin.

2. I'm amazed at how after even Dukakis won WI, the GOP continues to delude itself

that it can win Wisconsin. but if they wanna waste money and time there, all the more power to 'em!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. If Walker is the nominee, it's not delusion

Until the people there prove they can vote against that asshole, they seem to be in love with him.

11. his approvals aren't looking to hot in WI

which I think is part of the reason its a delusion

GOP always thinks they can nominate unpopular governors who win an election but see their approvals plummet, notice that? Romney, Jindal, Pataki, Walker, etc.

12. He only wins off season / midterm elections.

He's never had to face a full on general with the numbers that show up in those elections.

His electing rating is purely because of low turnout.

13. That's really no excuse for Wisconsin

Walker is so odious, people should be lining up every week to vote against him if they have to. The "I'll throw him out next time" line is old.

3. Bernie will clean their clocks too.

I think by the time of the WI Primary, HRC could easily lose 6 points to Berniementum. I think Bernie will be ahead decisively by then. And if I'm wrong I will grovel with a FUCK ME thread, and everyone can have their fun.

But it's not going to happen!

4. the real message to Walker

It should not be overlooked that in his home state amongst his own party 75% of them would rather have somebody else. Even his own party has grown to hate the little prick.

5. ha ha. "little prick" Love it.

yes, he is!

6. lowest approval rate ever!!!

http://www.wkow.com/story/29843501/2015/08/20/wkowcom

While Walker leads the Republican field, he is facing his lowest approval rating as Governor in the history of the Marquette Law Poll at just 39 percent. 57 percent of voters disapprove of his job performance.

#ScottWalker's favorability drops in poll of WI voters, cuz we don't want him! http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/govt-and-politics/election-matters/article_48391500-476d-11e5-bb88-ff0fb10531c5.html … #Walker16

7. That poll has me worried about Feingold.

Meanwhile, the race for the U.S. Senate seat in Wisconsin has tightened since the last MU Law Poll in April. Former Sen. Russ Feingold (D) leads incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson (R) by a 47-42 percent margin. Feingold led Johnson by 16 points in April.

Is Feingold still refusing super PAC money?

8. By Thanksgiving Sanders will lead.

10. Even if Scott Walker were to win the GOP nomination, and even if he were to somehow

win the presidency, he would still lose Wisconsin. The people there have to live under him and understand better than anyone what a terrible president he would make.
