(Angus Reid Global Scan) – Jim Doyle holds a high level of public backing in the Badger State, according to a poll by the St. Norbert College Survey Center released by Wisconsin Public Radio. 62 per cent of respondents are satisfied with the governor’s performance.
Doyle—a Democrat—has acted as Wisconsin’s governor since January 2003. The former state attorney general defeated Republican incumbent Scott McCallum and Libertarian candidate Ed Thompson in the November 2002 election with 45 per cent of the vote.
On May 11, Doyle ordered an increase to the minimum wage for all Wisconsin workers to $5.70 in June 2005, and $6.50 in June 2006. In a released statement, the governor said the measure "should have gone into effect in October of last year and every month since then, working families have been losing."
The next gubernatorial election in the Badger State is scheduled for November 2006. U.S. congressman Mark Green and Milwaukee County executive Scott Walker will seek the Republican nomination.
