• 93% of voters in Wisconsin’s recall already decided on a candidate days before today’s election
• 52% of Wisconsin voters possess a “favorable” view of unions for government employees
• 60% of the voters believe recall elections are only intended for “official misconduct” source

» And voter turnout is driving the day. It’s often difficult to parse exit polls like these for the purposes of prognostication, but these numbers do highlight something fairly clearly — this is a battle between political coalitions with long-entrenched attitudes on unions and governance, and the voters are following suit, overwhelmingly having made up their minds well before election day.
