Poll Watch: 48 Per Cent Back Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Vs. 38% With Unions
So says the latest Rasmussen Poll.
A sizable number of voters are following new Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s showdown with unionized public employees in his state, and nearly half side with the governor.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters agree more with the Republican governor in his dispute with union workers. Thirty-eight percent (38%) agree more with the unionized public employees, while 14% are undecided.
This is not really surprising since these are public employee unions and government employees – not private industry employees.
Remember what President Ronald Reagan said when faced with the same type of crisis with the Air Traffic Controllers? Watch the video for Reagan’s statement around 1:40)

And by limiting any bargaining to wages (not benefits) and limited wage raises to inflation (not a raise at all) the teachers thereby have nothing to bargain with and nothing to bargain for. ENDING collective bargaining.
