Both Georgia and Wisconsin feature open gubernatorial seats in politically divided states, producing toss-up contests where recent polling shows margins of three points or less, often within the margin of error. In Georgia, Republican Rick Jackson and Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms remain statistically tied in late September and early October surveys, with sharp divides by gender, age, race, and independents keeping the race fluid ahead of their October 6 debate and early voting. Wisconsin’s matchup between Democrat David Crowley and Republican Tom Tiffany shows a comparable three-point Crowley lead among likely voters in the latest Marquette poll, following earlier ties and reflecting strong partisan consolidation alongside large undecided blocs among independents. These parallel dynamics of narrow leads, base mobilization, and turnout uncertainty sustain the market’s near-even assessment of which race will finish closer on November 3.
