Today’s NBC-Marist poll shows that only 34% of Wisconsin voters say Scott Walker deserves a third term. 61% say it’s time for someone new. A mere 5% are undecided.

Reaction from DPW:

“This latest poll demonstrates that Wisconsin voters are ready for a change after eight long years of Scott Walker. Walker has focused on his personal ambition instead of the needs of Wisconsin’s families. Under Walker, healthcare costs are rising, the roads are crumbling, and the schools are facing a funding crisis. Voters know that a third term for Walker would just be more of the same. They’re ready for a governor with new ideas who will lead Wisconsin into the future.” — TJ Helmstetter, DPW spokesperson for 2018 gubernatorial election

"We found it makes a tremendous difference when neighbors understand their community, know people, and understand their way of life. They can connect on a more individual basis. It is much more effective than just another campaign ad or someone flown in from out of state and paid to do it, when it's someone who actually has the same stakes and benefits as you. That's why we focus on neighbors talking to neighbors." – WisDems Chair Devin Remiker
