The Boston Globe also did their Congressional endorsements today. They endorsed every Democrat in every race. Odd, I thought contributions to party organizations were limited to $5,000.
I find this poll very encouraging. Here are a few notes:
- Cahill Voter 2nd choice: Baker 46%, Patrick 22%, Stein 13%. 3rd Party candidates traditionally lose much of their support on election day when trailing.
- Baker does better among those voters who will definitely vote.
- Baker supporters are more excited about the election.
- Baker leads big among those very interested in the election and trails among those voters not interested at all.
- …and of course undecided voters traditionally break 2:1 for the challenger.
These factors demonstrate the overall enthusiasm gap that is working in favor of all Republicans this cycle.
