New Poll: Crowley Holds Narrow Edge over Tiffany in Wisconsin Race for Governor
The Marquette University Law School poll found 843 registered voters split 46% to 45%, with 9% undecided.
- On Wednesday, the Marquette University Law School released a poll showing Democratic candidate for governor David Crowley leading Republican candidate Tom Tiffany 49% to 46% among likely voters, with the race tightening as Election Day approaches.
- Both candidates have become more well known since August due to millions spent on campaign advertisements and door-to-door canvassing, which poll director Charles Franklin noted has significantly increased Crowley's unfavorable ratings among Republicans.
- Partisan divides remain stark, with 95% of Republicans backing Tiffany and 96% of Democrats supporting Crowley, while independents favor Crowley 44% to 18%, though 38% remain undecided.
- WISN 12 will host the only confirmed debate between the candidates on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., providing a platform for direct policy discussion.
- With 34 days until the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, poll director Charles Franklin cautioned against over-interpreting national trends, noting state races remain consistently competitive regardless of broader political coverage.
