Hong Leads in WI Poll, But Barnes Favored Against Tiffany | Madison News

Wisconsin’s Democratic governor’s race is heating up as new polling shows Rep. Francesca Hong leading in the primary with 26% support—but voters think Mandela Barnes would beat likely GOP nominee Tom Tiffany, giving him a 40% edge over Hong’s 43% in a head-to-head matchup. The race has been anything but stable, with Milwaukee Executive David Crowley dropping out just as polling began, then jumping back in after Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez suspended her campaign following finance issues. With nearly half the Democratic electorate still undecided, the field remains fluid—and Marquette Law School is launching a new poll focused solely on the Democratic race, expected July 29. These snapshots reveal voter sentiment, not destiny, as the political landscape continues to shift. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
