Despite Scott Walker’s Win, Obama Still Outpolls Romney in Wisconsin

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) won a victory in the state’s recall election tonight, but judging from exist polls, approval for Walker is not synonymous with for approval for Romney.

Exit polls show Walker winning 18 percent of Obama supporters — much higher than Democrat Tom Barrett’s 6 percent of Mitt Romney supporters. Overall, the electorate that turned out Tuesday backed Obama by a 51 percent-to-44-percent margin.

However, it should be said that the exit polls were far from exact, pointing to a much closer race than what we saw last night.

“Everyone should think twice about using tonight’s Wisconsin exit polling in any fashion,” tweeted Kirsten Kukowski, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee.
