Markey Continues to Lead Lynch in Massachusetts

A new Western New England University poll in Massachusetts finds that Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) leads Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) in a Democratic Senate primary, 44% to 34%.

On the GOP side, Gabriel Gomez (R) is slightly ahead of Michael Sullivan (R), 33% to 27%.

Also interesting: “In hypothetical match-ups for the general election, both Democrats fare better than their Republican counterparts, although the numbers indicate Lynch is more likely to defeat any GOP Senate hopefuls.”

What’s not clear is how accurate a poll conducted in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings will prove in the end.
