Will the Democrats win the Wisconsin governor race in 2026?

Republican U.S. Representative Tom Tiffany holds the lead in the 2026 Wisconsin gubernatorial race following Democratic incumbent Tony Evers’ decision not to seek a third term, creating an open seat in a state with closely divided partisan leanings. Recent polling averages show Tiffany narrowly ahead of likely Democratic nominee Francesca Hong, who leads her August 11 primary field. Strong Republican fundraising, including Tiffany’s multimillion-dollar hauls, and the state’s recent voting patterns in federal contests have contributed to trader positioning favoring the GOP outcome at current levels. The November general election timeline leaves room for shifts from primary results, campaign spending, or late developments in this competitive environment.
