Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is leading Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) in the Massachusetts Democratic Senate primary, according to a new Emerson College poll. The survey finds Markey with 60.4% support among likely Democratic primary voters, while Moulton trails with 23.3%. The remaining responses are split among other options or undecided voters.
The poll reflects a head-to-head contest between two Democrats seeking to retain Markey’s seat in the U.S. Senate. The outlets reporting the findings focus on the scale of Markey’s advantage, indicating Markey has broad support with Democratic voters who are likely to participate in the primary. The coverage does not describe differing methodological claims beyond citing the Emerson College poll results, and it presents the figures as an indicator of current voter preferences rather than a final election outcome.
