From PunditFact:
Limbaugh said Wisconsin is "one of the bluest" states, but under Walker its unemployment rate "is around 3.5%."
Although Wisconsin has voted for the Democratic nominee in the last seven presidential contests, as a frequent battleground state, it is far from being an automatic in the Democratic column. At the state level, meanwhile, Wisconsin is currently Republican red but was recently Democratic blue, and by other measures it is somewhere between the two.
As for unemployment under Walker, it has dropped to near 6 percent, but nowhere near 3.5 percent.
We rate Limbaugh’s statement False.
