Rasmussen puts Walker approval at 43 percent

Friday, March 04, 2011

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey pegs Gov. Scott Walker's approval rating at 43 percent, while 57 percent disapproved of his job performance.

Within those numbers, 34 percent strongly approve of Walker's performance, while 48 percent strongly disapprove.

The survey found Walker doing particularly poorly with those who have a public employee in their household (19 percent approval) and those with a child in public school (32 percent). He does better with those from a private sector union household (46 percent) and all non-union households (49 percent).

Respondents also gave President Obama an approval rating of 55 percent.

The telephone survey of 800 likely voters was conducted March 2 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Dems typically dismiss Rasmussen as biased toward Republicans.
