Marquette Law School Poll shows Wisconsin governor’s race tied between David Crowley and Tom Tiffany

A new Marquette Law School Poll released on Tuesday finds Democrat David Crowley and Republican Tom Tiffany tied in Wisconsin’s governor’s race, according to The Hill. The survey results place both candidates at 44 percent support among registered voters, suggesting a highly competitive contest in a state that is often viewed as pivotal in presidential election years.

The poll, conducted by Marquette Law School, asked registered voters whom they would support in the governor’s race. Based on the findings reported by The Hill, 44 percent said they would back Tiffany, while 44 percent said they would support Crowley.

The reported tie underscores how close the race is heading into the late stages of the campaign season, with neither candidate holding a clear lead in the registered-voter topline. The Hill’s report frames the results as indicating a tight contest in a state that has been central to national political strategy.

While the poll’s headline numbers show a 44-44 split, the larger context of gubernatorial campaigning typically includes attention to turnout, independent and late-deciding voters, and the geographic distribution of support across Wisconsin’s media markets and counties. The Hill’s account emphasizes the overall parity between the two candidates in the registered-voter sample.

The Marquette Law School Poll adds to a broader set of public polling data that tracks changes in gubernatorial and presidential preferences in Wisconsin. Poll results can vary based on methodology and question wording, so campaigns and analysts generally treat individual polls as snapshots rather than final outcomes.

Crowley and Tiffany have each campaigned for Wisconsin’s governor’s office ahead of the election, and the poll results reported Tuesday place the race in a near-even standing among registered voters. Additional polling and the candidates’ final outreach efforts are likely to continue shaping the public’s view of the contest’s balance.

The next steps for voters and election administrators will remain focused on the official election schedule, ballot preparation, and the ongoing campaign period leading up to Election Day, with poll releases offering interim information rather than official results.
