A separate survey of 500 likely Massachusetts voters, which asked for their views on the gubernatorial campaign, found Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley in a “strong, but vulnerable” position, according to pollster Doug Usher. Coakley leads Republican front-runner Charlie Baker 46 percent to 36 percent. When matched against Democratic Treasurer Steve Grossman, Baker sits on a marginal lead, 35 percent to 34 percent.
The Virginia-based Purple Strategies was cofounded by Republican strategist Alex Castellanos and Democratic strategist Steve McMahon.
