Election 2010: Massachusetts Governor(Rasmussenreports).An early look at the 2010 election cycle finds that Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has some work to do if he wants to win reelection.
When matched against Christy Mihos, the Democratic governor picks up 40% of the vote and trails the potential GOP nominee by a single point.
If Charlie Baker is the Republican nominee, Patrick’s support is little changed at 41% while Baker is favored by 36%. Baker is a health care chief executive officer who has not yet formally decided if he is entering the race.
In both match-ups, the number preferring “some other candidate” is in double digits, and roughly one-out-of-10 voters is undecided.
The fact that the numbers are so similar regardless of which Republican is mentioned suggest that the race so far is viewed as a referendum on the incumbent rather than a choice between competing alternatives.
