Scott Walker: My Low Poll Numbers Now Are No Different than Four Years Ago

‘We will stick with what worked, common sense reforms ... these guys are interesting right now, but in the end, people are going to come back to proven results’

KELLY: “Yes. What about -- let's talk about the poll numbers. Because they have fallen in your case. The latest Quinnipiac poll in Iowa put you at three percent, which is a 15-point drop in two months. Trump is at 27 percent. Monmouth in New Hampshire puts you at two percent. He's at 28 percent. You were 11 percent on a national basis early on, now you're at four percent. Is it time for a change in strategy?”

WALKER: “For us, four years ago at this point, in the late spring in the summer of 2011, my polls were so low, Time magazine called me, Deadman Walker. We came back and we won that recall election with more votes, more actual votes in a higher percentage that we did in November of 2010. Why? Because we start to work, we actually talked about common sense conservative forms and then we show that they worked. I believe that if Americans want someone who can fight and win, get results and do it without compromising. Yes, these other guys are interesting right now but in the end I think people are going to come back to proven results. People can actually lead and that's what we show in Wisconsin, we can do it in -- Wisconsin, we can do it in Washington.”

KELLY: “Need a quick answer because we're almost out of time. But what's your debate strategy for Wednesday quickly?”

WALKER: “Be aggressive. Show passion, show the kind of energy that got to us that recall victory in Wisconsin. If we can do that, we can win in Washington.”

KELLY: “Governor, it's great to see you.”

WALKER: “Thank you, Megyn.”
