Public Policy Polling for Daily Kos, the extremist, far Left website of hater Markos Moulitsas, has very bad news for Russ Feingold.
An enormous enthusiasm gap, coupled with a Republican nominee fresh from a decisive primary win and unsullied by the primary process, has catapulted Republican nominee Ron Johnson to a double-digit advantage over incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold, according to PPP's poll of the state on behalf of Daily Kos.
In November of 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama swept through the Midwest, winning many states (including Wisconsin) by double digits. Today, the President's numbers are nearly reversed in the Badger State: whereas Obama carried the state 56-42 in 2008, his job approval now is 41%, with 54% expressing disapproval. This is a tendency that has been mimicked throughout the Midwest, and may well explain why this region seems to be the one vexing Democrats the most this cycle.
The malaise with Democratic voters in the state is unmistakable, and is having a material impact on the races here. As our polling partner at PPP, Tom Jensen, noted:Wisconsin is seeing one of the most severe enthusiasm gaps in the country. If turnout matched 2008 Johnson would be leading Feingold only 47-46....
Alas, poor Democrats, this is not 2008.
It's 2010 and Russ Feingold is in deep trouble.
The disastrous two years of Obama in the Oval Office and the Democrats in total control of the legislative branch have resulted in an about-face by the people of Wisconsin.
We want better for ourselves and our families, our state and our nation.
We want Ron Johnson to represent us in the U.S. Senate.
