Hong leads with 27% as 45% of Democratic primary voters remain undecided, and the poll was fielded before recent campaign shakeups.
State Rep. Francesca Hong leads the Democratic primary field for Wisconsin governor with 27% support, according to a Marquette University Law School Poll released Wednesday.
Conducted from July 8 through July 16, the Marquette University Law School survey missed recent campaign upheaval when Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez dropped out and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley re-entered the race.
Nearly half of Democratic primary voters, 45%, remain undecided three weeks before the August 11 primary; that figure rises to 48% when second choices for Rodriguez voters are assigned.
In general election matchups against Republican Tom Tiffany, Hong ties at 44% among likely voters, while Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes leads Tiffany by 5 percentage points.
A final Marquette Law School Poll will be released July 29, excluding Rodriguez and including Crowley, while WISN 12 hosts an exclusive primetime debate on July 28.
