Meanwhile, back in...

...Wisconsin (my emphasis):

Scott Walker’s approval rating is upside down – with 43% approving and 53% disapproving of how he’s handling his job. Walker’s “strongly disapprove” is a sky-high 45%.

Views of public employee unions are very favorable – 59% have a favorable opinion of them, just 34% view them negatively. Teachers have a 70%-25% fav-unfav; teachers’ unions have a lower, but still strong 59%-36%.

The poll also finds that by a 65%-33% margin, Wisconsin residents want Walker to compromise on the current standoff.

Members of the Tea Party were among the most enthusiastic voters in 2010. But the group is viewed unfavorably in this poll by a plurality of Wisconsin residents -- 38% view them positively, 44% negatively.

And even Democrats in the state legislature, with all 14 state senators fleeing the state to deny the GOP majority a quorum, enjoy a net-positive rating of 50%-42%, higher than Senate Republicans at 46%-46%.
