Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 00:44 · Archive

Democrat David Crowley leads Republican Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin's governor's race, according to the Marquette Law School Poll's final survey.

The Marquette Law School Poll released its final survey of Wisconsin's governor's race ahead of Election Day, showing Democrat David Crowley with a lead over Republican Tom Tiffany. Among registered voters, Crowley leads with 47 per cent and Tiffany has 44 per cent, with a margin of error of 4.3 per cent. Among likely voters, Crowley's advantage widens to 51 per cent compared to Tiffany's 44 per cent, with a margin of error of 4.7 per cent. The poll was conducted from 14 to 22 October.

Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School Poll, said national issues are affecting the state race. He cited the president's 37 per cent job approval rating, fewer than 20 per cent of the public saying they are better off financially than a year ago, and fewer than 20 per cent saying national goals in Iran have been achieved. 'All three of those major national issues are all pushing against Republicans, and that's an effect across the country, not just here in Wisconsin,' Franklin said.

Franklin said turnout and independent voters would play key roles in determining the outcome. Among the likeliest voters, Crowley has a seven-point lead, but among the next most likely voters, Tiffany leads by twelve points. Franklin attributed this pattern to a phenomenon seen in recent elections where certain candidates turn out less likely voters.
