Wisconsin Recall Election Results...NYT
Source: NYT
Voters in Tuesday's recall election are somewhat more opposed to the Tea Party movement than voters in 2010 were, but most nonetheless say, as in 2010, that government "is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals."
Nearly four in 10 voters in preliminary exit polls say they support the Tea Party movement, about as many oppose it and a quarter are neutral. While support for the political movement has held steady from two years ago, opposition is up somewhat from 2010 according to these results.
But voters' antipathy toward increased government involvement in 2010 is echoed in today's results. Two years ago, 41 percent said government "should do more to solve problems" while 56 percent said it was doing too many things better left to others. Voters today felt similarly.

(48 posts)I want Barrett, but I am concerned about an outbreak of recall elections across the country. It would not be a good thing for democracy. A single billionaire with a grudge could finance a recall of anyone for no real reason. I know the arguements for the recall, but I worry we may have let the genie out of the bottle.
