In the recap of Todd's trip to Wisconsin, Iowa and Kansas that aired on Sunday's "Meet the Press," Todd interviewed Democratic gubernatorial challenger Mary Burke, asking about whether it's fair to call Wisconsin the most polarized state in the country.

"Right now, I think it's fair, unfortunately," Burke said. "But it's not who we are here in Wisconsin."

He also asked why Burke was comfortable with having President Obama campaign with her, as he's scheduled to do Tuesday in Milwaukee, when other Democrats would rather not be seen with him.

"It's going to be a tight race," she said. "Turnout's going to be important. And, yeah, I welcome the president here."

Todd said he observed a sense of exhaustion with the gubernatorial race, both among those working to get Walker out of office and those defending the governor.

"And that is a real challenge for the Walker and Burke campaigns," Todd said in the online video. "It's clear Republicans are worried about an enthusiasm gap on their end. Democrats are somewhat more enthusiastic, it appears, for Burke. But I just spoke to one voter who was a big door-knocker during the recall and said, you know what, I'm going to show up and vote but that's all I'm doing."
