Governor's race update: polling is steady but Baker is raking it in

A new Rasmussen poll reports President Obama stump speech for Deval Patrick had little impact on the Governor’s approval numbers.

If Charlie Baker wins the Republican nomination and independent Tim Cahill stays in the race, the poll finds:

Patrick 35%
Baker 27%
Cahill 23%
Undecided 15%

Baker is down from the previous poll despite receiving Scott Brown’s endorsement.

If Christy Mihos wins the nomination, Patrick takes 38%, Cahill 33% and Mihos only 15%.

The Boston Globe is reporting that Charlie Baker is raising money "at a furious pace." According to the Globe, Baker has passed $2 million, raised almost three times as much as Patrick in the last two weeks of March and his bank balance is now more than double Patrick's. Patrick trails Tim Cahill as well. Candidate fundraising information is available here.
