NBC: How David Crowley Won Wisconsin Election After Previously Dropping Out
Crowley overcame a 7% poll showing and won after 34% of voters were undecided, according to Marquette University researchers.
- On Tuesday, David Crowley defeated State Rep. Francesca Hong by fewer than 4,000 votes in Wisconsin's Democratic primary for governor, securing a comeback victory after trailing in polls throughout the campaign.

- In Milwaukee County, Crowley won by about 2,400 votes, while State Sen. Kelda Roys captured nearly 11% in Madison, cutting into Hong's vote totals in her home region.
- Political Science Professor Jula Azari noted Hong's campaign was ultimately a success, establishing a coalition of 300,000-plus voters that Crowley must now court to win the general election.
- Polling for the general election between Crowley and GOP Congressman Tom Tiffany began Wednesday, with analysts updating models to reflect the new Democratic nominee for the November matchup.
