David Crowley Leads Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin Governor Polls

Democratic candidate David Crowley holds a slight lead over Republican Tom Tiffany in the race for Wisconsin governor, according to two separate polls released August 26. A Marquette University Law School Poll of 891 registered voters shows Crowley leading Tiffany 49% to 44% among likely voters, though the candidates remain tied at 44% each among all registered voters.

Crowley maintains a significant advantage among likely independent voters, leading 55% to 16%. A separate Badger Battleground Poll of 500 likely voters mirrored these results, placing Crowley ahead 48% to 44%. Governor Tony Evers has endorsed Crowley following the candidate's reentry into the race.

Economic issues are the primary driver for voters, with 43% identifying inflation and the cost of living as their top concern. Additionally, the Marquette poll indicates strong opposition to data centers, with 78% of respondents stating the costs of such facilities outweigh the benefits. The general election is scheduled for November 3.
