Gubernatorial race poll shows Baker gaining

A recent note from Charlie Baker's team notes new poll data indicates growing support for Baker. The Boston Herald has reported that the latest Rasmussen Reports poll has Patrick leading Baker 35-32, with Cahill taking 19 percent and a huge 14 percent undecided. Equally noteworthy, Patrick leads lagging Baker rival 34-19, with Cahill jumping to 30 percent. The implication is that Cahill's numbers in a Patrick-Baker race are being siphoned from the Baker side, not the Patrick side. Should Cahill find himself running a distant third as the election approaches and throw his support to Baker, Patrick could find himself trailing badly.
