Some selective poll numbers from Green

Rep. Mark Green couldn't wait to rush out a press release about the latest poll in the governor's race, which shows him leading Scott Walker in the GOP gov primary by 5 points.

The Strategic Vision poll also showed Green losing to Doyle by 4 points, but he characterized that as being within striking distance -- just as Walker is within striking distance of Green.

Green's release says:

Every independent survey in this campaign, this one included, has shown two consistent results – Wisconsinites are unhappy with Jim Doyle and Mark Green is best positioned to win next November,” said Graul. “Mark’s vision of making Wisconsin great again by lowering taxes, providing stronger education opportunities and relying on common-sense Wisconsin values is winning supporters each and every day.”

However, the very same poll puts Green way off on the wrong side compared with voters'opinions. If anyone's out of touch, it's our boy Mark Green, consistent supporter of President Bush, buddy of Tom DeLay, and organizer of the Victory in Iraq Caucus in the Congress.
