From WisPolitics . . .

Governor Scott Walker’s job approval rating climbed in the latest Marquette Law poll, though he also remained underwater.

Forty-five percent approved of the job Walker is doing, while 48 percent disapproved. In October, that split was 42-51.

Franklin noted since spring 2015, after Walker began moving toward a presidential run, the guv’s numbers have been upside down. Still, it’s the best mark he’s had since 49-47 with registered voters just weeks ahead of his 2014 re-election.

Forty-nine percent of registered voters said the state is on the right track, while 47 percent said it is not. That split was 45-51 in August.

On other issues of note:
*80 percent backed increasing K-12 funding, while 17 percent were opposed.
