Sixty percent said they would support Markey, while 32 percent chose Moulton and 7 percent remained undecided.<\/p>\n<p>The poll\u2019s margin of error was 5.8 percentage points. Axios reported that Markey\u2019s lead extended across several groups, including women, liberals and each age group measured in the survey. Moulton\u2019s strongest numbers came among independent and moderate voters.<\/p>\n<p>Respondents also gave Markey an advantage on issue trust. The poll showed 66 percent trusting Markey over Moulton on the issues, compared with 34 percent for Moulton. Markey\u2019s job approval was reported at 56 percent statewide and 83 percent among Democratic primary voters.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers describe one survey conducted before the election and do not determine the result. WBUR noted that the primary was two weeks away when the poll was released, leaving time for both campaigns to continue making their case to voters. The election outcome will be decided by Massachusetts Democratic primary voters on Sept. 1.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-center code-block-4\">\n<div style=\"max-width:760px;margin:18px auto;padding:16px 18px;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #dadce0;border-radius:16px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;box-sizing:border-box;\">\n<div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:14px;\">\n<div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:12px;min-width:0;\"><img width=\"696\" height=\"696\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Zoom Bangla News\" style=\"width:48px;height:48px;border-radius:50%;object-fit:cover;display:block;flex-shrink:0;\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/inews.zoombangla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zoombangla_org_logo_696-yoast.png\"\/><\/p>\n<div style=\"min-width:0;\">\n<p>\nZoom Bangla News<\/p>\n<p>\ninews.zoombangla.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?cs=0&amp;hl=en&amp;q=inews.zoombangla.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"background:#1a73e8;color:#fff;text-decoration:none;font-size:14px;font-weight:600;padding:10px 18px;border-radius:10px;display:inline-flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;white-space:nowrap;flex-shrink:0;\"><br \/>\nFollow<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:14px;padding-top:14px;border-top:1px solid #e5e7eb;text-align:center;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#111827;line-height:1.35;\">\nFollow iNews Zoombangla On Google<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 auto 12px;font-size:13px;line-height:1.6;color:#4b5563;max-width:620px;\">\nOpen the Google follow page and tap the checkmark option to receive more updates from iNews Zoombangla in your Google news feed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?cs=0&amp;hl=en&amp;q=inews.zoombangla.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"display:block;text-decoration:none;max-width:640px;margin:0 auto;\" aria-label=\"Follow iNews Zoombangla On Google\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" height=\"123\" width=\"653\" alt=\"Follow iNews Zoombangla On Google\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:12px;border:1px solid #dfe1e5;display:block;\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/inews.zoombangla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1-17.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><input id=\"daextamp-post-id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"3270415\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new poll has placed Sen.
