Hong Surges Ahead in Democratic Race | Madison News

Francesca Hong surges to a commanding 38% lead in the Democratic governor’s race, fueled by a 12-point jump and overwhelming support from younger voters—66% among 18-29 year olds. With undecided voters dropping 11 points and leaning support pushing her total to 46%, Hong’s momentum mirrors Tony Evers’ 2018 path. Barnes edges up to 16%, Crowley holds at 7%, and while Evers’ endorsement didn’t sway most, 36% said it boosted Crowley’s appeal. The age gap is stark, but Hong’s broadening appeal across all demographics signals a clear frontrunner as primary day nears.
