Only 29 percent favor the job Scott is doing, the poll of 1,196 registered voters shows.

Raleigh, N.C. – Like his counterpart in Wisconsin, Ohio’s Gov. John Kasich has become only more unpopular over the last few months, as the opposition to his limitations on collective bargaining has only intensified. Already at 35-54 approval-disapproval in March, Kasich has slipped a bit to 33-56, tying him with Florida’s Rick Scott for the most reviled governor in the country. Unlike Scott Walker, Kasich’s agenda has not at all rallied his base. He has plummeted with Republicans, from an already somewhat weak 71-18 approval margin two months ago to an abysmal 58-28 now.

The state's voters want to recall Walker -- and they would rather have the Democrats in control of the state Senate, too.
The poll finds Walker with an approval rating of only 43%, with 54% disapproval. The poll also asked: "Would you support or oppose recalling Scott Walker from office before his term is up?" The result was support 50%, oppose 47%.

Being responsible is never easy see P Ryan, it is easy to promise things that you can't deliver to buy votes.

Yes, we know...we've seen it happen before. So have you....you've even mentioned falling poll numbers on several occasions. I'm sure you feel that all poll numbers slip only because the politician in question is being "responsible," and people don't understand or appreciate it.
