Wisconsin's Walker leads possible recall opponents: poll | Reuters
Slightly more Wisconsin voters approve than disapprove of the job Republican Gov. Scott Walker is doing as he prepares for an expected recall election, according to a poll released Wednesday.
Walker also showed a slight lead or a lead when compared to four potential Democratic opponents, according to a Marquette University Law School poll.
It showed 51 percent of 701 registered voters polled approve of Walkers performance while 46 percent disapprove. The poll has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points. The telephone poll was conducted Jan. 19-22, just days after recall organizers turned in a million signatures to possibly force a recall election against Walker.

p.s. lol @ "slightly more approve than disapprove". If the numbers were not in Walker's favor, I suspect there would have been a different headline. If a Democrat had seen a turnaround in the polls like that, chances are good the story would have been "so-and-so's approval rising". Yup. Check out this headline about Obama from December:
Obamas job-approval rating is highest since summer, Post-ABC poll finds

That's what Obama gets for a dismal 49% approval rating to 47% disapproval.
