Presidential candidates to blanket Wis. this weekend
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (AP) — President Barack Obama will be campaigning in Milwaukee on Saturday as part of a multistate swing before Tuesday’s election.
His campaign announced the stop on Wednesday. Obama will speak at the Delta Convention Center. Pop star Katy Perry will perform at the event. The president is also campaigning in Green Bay on Thursday morning.
The two new stops come as a Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday shows Obama leading Republican Mitt Romney 51 percent to 43 percent in Wisconsin.
The poll of 1,243 likely voters was done between Oct. 25 and Sunday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
Romney plans to campaign near Milwaukee on Friday.
Both running mates, Paul Ryan and Joe Biden, are also campaigning in Wisconsin this week.

Deeper look into Marquette polls not reflecting 2008 turnout - just straight up questions.
55% say Romney is stronger leader. huh, yet Obama in the lead??
Only 36% Obama would improve economy.
Only 34% say they are better off.
50% NOT better off.
51% still approve of Walker.
The poll together makes no sense but the left got their headline.

Marquette poll has 4 point swing in one week? As I looked further, Dems were out polled and they factor in 2008 Dem turn out levels. That's not even close.
Another poll says Wisconsin is showing Recall levels for Repubs. 7% victory for Walker then.

What do I see is gonna happen? Romney will win the popular vote by an overwellming margin. However I also see Obama winning the electoral college. This will be so sad for the United States, I hope it does not happen because this would definity not unify the divided country we have right now.
