"Recall" is the newest and most popular term these days it seems in politics. Today in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, we see the headline Gov. Doyle's ratings reach new low. Currently according to polls his numbers are down to 55% approval. Republicans left and right will criticize Doyle of breaking his words on taxes. Others will say compared to other states budget crisis' this is nothing, and it's not bad at all.

Wisconsin is one of the highest taxed states, and yes, that may lower an approval rating. If we look at where Gov. McCallum was last year I'm sure the same thing could be said. Ironic thing is the polls were not pointed at the Legislature either, who's approval ratings also would coincide with Doyle's due to people's frustration.
