Markey Has the Edge in Massachusetts Senate Race

A new WBUR poll in Massachusetts shows Rep. Edward Markey (D) leading Gabriel Gomez (R) in the U.S. Senate race, 41% to 35%.  Markey’s lead expands to eight points, 46% to 38%, when undecided voters leaning toward one candidate or the other are included.

Said pollster Steve Koczela: Either way you look at it — with leaners or without leaners — you’ve
got a race within single digits coming out of the primary. You’ve got a competitive race.”

Markey’s lead is significantly less than a Suffolk poll showed last night.
