Gov. Tate Reeves (R-MS) is poised to beat Democratic nominee Brandon Presley in the race for Mississippi's next governor, one of the higher-stakes November general elections.
A new Mississippi Today/Siena College poll shows the incumbent Republican with 52% of likely votes and Presley with 41%. Six percent of voters were still undecided, and 1% reported they were not going to vote.
A poll conducted in April showed Reeves leading Presley by similar margins, 49% to 38%. However, the latest survey shows the Republican governor capturing a state majority for the first time this year. While the 2023 gubernatorial race marks Preseley’s first run for statewide office, he is currently in his fourth term as the Northern District Public Service Commissioner. The Nettleton native ran for mayor of his hometown at the age of 23, winning with 78% of the vote in 2001 and becoming the youngest mayor elected in Mississippi history.
