MA-07: Capuano Maintains 13-Point Lead Over Pressley
Ayanna Pressley has yet to make inroads into Rep. Michael Capuano's lead in the race for the Massachusetts 7th Congressional District.
That's the finding of a new WBUR poll (topline results, crosstabs) of registered voters likely to vote in the Democratic primary there.
Capuano leads Pressley by 13 points, 48 percent to 35 percent.
"We saw a very similar margin when we polled this race back in February to what we see today," said Steve Koczela, president of the MassINC Polling Group, which conducted the survey for WBUR.
Back in February, Capuano had a 12-point lead.
"We're also still seeing the dynamic where Ayanna Pressley is running about even or even perhaps slightly ahead in Boston, where Michael Capuano polls such strong support in surrounding communities that that's enough to give him a solid edge in the race," Koczela said.
