Markey Holds Solid Lead in Massachusetts

A new Western New England University poll finds Rep. Ed Markey (D) leading Gabriel Gomez (R) by eight points in the special U.S. Senate election, 49% to 41%, with 9% undecided.

“The poll also found what political observers have noted all along – that voters are simply not engaged in this race in the way they were with the 2012 U.S. Senate race between Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Elizabeth Warren.”
