Recall rally and counter-rally set for Saturday

Posted:

MADISON (WKOW) --  Opponents of Governor Scott Walker are hosting a recall rally at the Wisconsin State Capitol Saturday.

Supporters of the governor have planned a counter-rally beginning at 1:00 PM, also at the state Capitol.

The "Recall Scott Walker Rally" begins at 11:00 AM and is set to run through 2:00 PM.

A poll released Tuesday by the Wisconsin Public Radio/St. Norbert College Survey shows that 58 percent of respondents believe Walker should be recalled from office. That compares with 47 percent who said in April that Walker should be recalled.

Walker's approval ratings are also low, with 58 percent saying they disapprove of the job he's doing. That's down from 48 percent in the spring.

The survey of 482 Wisconsin residents was done between Nov. 1 and Thursday. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

Opponents of Governor Walker will need at least 540,000 signatures to force a recall election within 60 days of filing the petition on November 15th. Opponents of Lt. Gov Rebecca Kleefisch will also need to get 540,000 signatures to force a recall election.
