Patrick ’78 by 27 percent in a poll released last week, indicating that a Democrat might sit in the corner office of the State House for the first time since 1991.

Patrick ’78 in the Massachusetts gubernatorial race has backfired in the past week, resulting in an increase in the Democratic candidate’s numbers in the polls. According to a poll published on Oct. 24 by 7NEWS and Suffolk University, 53 percent of likely voters now support Patrick, as opposed to 26 percent in favor of Healey. In addition, 61 percent of people surveyed criticized the negative tone that Healey’s campaign has taken...
