No, I was wrong- the one I quoted was all Americans. I saw a Wisconsin-only poll, it was pro-union, but trying to find it ...

Edit: here are three Wisconsin-citizen only polls that also show the citizens don't support Walker

The poll of 500 likely voters, Wisconsin residents only, which was conducted on Monday, Feb.21:
According to the poll, 56 percent say Wisconsin state employees and public employee unions should have collective bargaining powers. Thirty-two percent disagree, and 12 percent of those polled are unsure.

Do you approve of Gov Walkers plan to limit the pay of government workers and teachers, increase their share of the cost of benefits, and strip some public-employ unions of much of their power.
We’d like to know if APPROVE or DISAPPROVE of Gov. Walker’s plan.
Approve 43.05%
Disapprove 51.90%
Not sure 5.05%

602 Wisconsin voters polled
Remove collective bargaining rights: 33.7% agree, 35.2% oppose
Support for Walker less than opposition, etc (see poll)
