Walker is rated a healthy 2014 favorite by most independent handicappers. It’s not because his approval ratings are spectacular. In four Wisconsin polls this year by Marquette Law School and Public Policy Polling, he averages 49% approval and 46% disapproval. He remains arguably the most polarizing governor in the country, unusually popular with voters in his own party and acutely unpopular with voters in the other party.
