Bowser Surges Ahead of Wounded Gray

A new Washington Post poll finds a “once-fractious primary battle” for Washington, DC mayor has narrowed into a two-person race with Muriel Bowser leading embattled Mayor Vincent Gray, 30% to 27%.

“The new polling indicates that, across a wide field of eight candidates, Bowser is now best positioned to capi­tal­ize on concerns about Gray’s honesty. Bowser’s surge offers more evidence that the electorate sees little connection between the city’s chief executive and its economic boom; by a two-to-one margin, voters say the city is on the right track, according to the poll.”

A new Marist Poll finds Bowser leading 28% to 26%.
