Overview
- A Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll of 500 likely voters finds Gov. Maura Healey at 59% and Republican Geoff Minogue at 36%, with a margin of error of ±4.4 points and fewer than 4% of voters undecided.
- Rising costs are the top voter concern, with about 42% saying Massachusetts has become a worse place to live over the last four years and many pointing to high utility and heating bills.
- Nearly three in four respondents view President Trump unfavorably, and more than 60% say a Republican who supported him would make them less likely to back that candidate.
- Minogue wins some agreement on taxes and the economy, but his limited name recognition—about 21% of voters said they had never heard of him—and reliance on heavy self-funding have not closed Healey's advantage.
- Down‑ballot results show broad Democratic strength, with Sen. Ed Markey near 60%, Attorney General Andrea Campbell at about 54%, and Secretary of State William F. Galvin around 67%, signaling potential continuity in statewide offices.
