Markey Holds Wide Lead for Senate

A new Suffolk University poll in Massachusetts finds Rep. Edward Markey (D) leading Gabriel Gomez (R) by 17 points in the race for U.S. Senate, 52% to 35%.

Said pollster David Paleologos: “I’m not saying the race won’t be close or it won’t get closer, or that Markey or somebody won’t gaffe. But in terms of the starting point, this isn’t a handful-of-points race.”
