Healey Leads Minogue by 23 Points in Suffolk/Globe Poll as Voters Split on Ballot Questions
Gov. Maura Healey holds a 59% to 36% lead, while voters are closely divided on eliminating party primaries and on a housing measure, the poll found.
Gov. Maura Healey leads Republican challenger Michael Minogue 59% to 36% among likely voters, according to a Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll of 500 voters released Tuesday, the Globe reported. Fewer than 4% were undecided.
Only 15% of respondents said Massachusetts has become a better place to live over the past four years, while about 42% said it has gotten worse and 40% said it has remained the same, according to the Globe. Nearly three in four voters surveyed said they had an unfavorable view of President Donald Trump.
Voters were closely divided on several of the nine statewide ballot questions. Nearly 47% said they support Question 3, which would eliminate partisan primaries in state elections, while 41% said they oppose it. About 41% said they would support Question 7, which would allow single-family homes on smaller lots, with virtually the same share opposed. The election is Nov. 3.
