New poll shows Walker leads GOP field in home state of Wisconsin
The biggest victor of the first Republican presidential debate was Fox News and the Fox News anchors: 24 million viewers and the anchors using 32 minutes versus only 69 minutes divided among the 10 candidates.
Mr. Walker has boasted that he is one of few GOP candidates to propose concrete ways to replace the health care law as president, although one of his party rivals, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, blasted the plan as “Obamacare lite” and challenged Mr. Walker to a health care debate in Iowa.
Feeling a way of “urgency” – and witnessing the surge of Donald Trump – Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he is extra prepared to tackle his personal social gathering and to attract clear distinctions between himself and the remainder of the Republican presidential area. Its margin of error is plus or minus 4.3 percentage points. It showed Feingold with 47 percent compared with 42 percent for Johnson.
The poll shows Walker ahead with 25 percent, followed by Carson at 13 percent and Trump with 9 percent. Like Walker, Clinton has seen her lead narrow since April when she polled at 58 percent – before Sanders joined the race.
In the April poll, Feingold led Johnson 54 percent to 38 percent.
In a potential showdown between Walker and Dem. Hillary Clinton, Clinton leads 52%-42%.
The poll was conducted between August 13 and 16 and included 802 registered voters.
Approval rating: The 41 percent of respondents who said they approved of Walker’s job performance in April was the lowest since he faced massive protests and a recall election over his 2011 collective bargaining changes for public employees. That question was of a smaller sample of 334 people, with a 6.6 percentage point error margin.
