GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) Polls show tomorrow's recall election is tighter than ever.
The Democratic Public Policy Polling put out updated numbers showing Governor Scott Walker getting 50 percent of the vote, compared to 47 percent for Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. That's a near dead heat considering the polls 2.8 percent margin of error.
Another new poll comes from the Canadian based Angus Reid Public Opinion Poll which shows Walker holding a 53-47 lead over Barrett. Much like the other poll, that's slightly over the 4.3 percent margin of error.
The results from the Angus Reid poll are nearly identical to last week's poll by the Marquette University Law School which showed Walker leading Barrett 52-45 percent. That poll's margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.
With none of these polls showing a significant number of undecided voters, the poll takers suggest that turnout likely will determine the outcome of tomorrow's race.
