Are Wisconsin Gov. Walker's Approval Ratings Still At Record Low?

State of Wisconsin

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's job approval rating dropped to record lows the month after he formally announced his run for president. A Marquette University Law School poll to be released today will assess how residents feel about Walker since he abruptly dropped out of the race last week.

Walker says he plans to refocus his energy on being governor and traveling around the state.

Walker spent little time in Wisconsin during his presidential run, which officially began on July 13th. But Walker was traveling extensively around the country all year before that.

In the August poll, Walker's job approval rating was at 39 percent. That was the lowest ever recorded for him during his time as Wisconsin governor.
