Excerpt said:
GOVERNOR'S RACE CLOSES IN MASSACHUSETTS - Massachusetts is blessed with more active local pollsters than most other states, and they have produced four new polls since last week showing a very close race between Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley and Republican Charlie Baker. Three of the four new surveys -- Boston Globe/Social Sphere, UMass Amherst/WBZ/YouGov and Western New England University -- gave Baker the edge by a percentage point or two, while a Boston Herald/Suffolk University poll gave Coakley a 1 point advantage. Coakley had enjoyed wide leads in polls conducted earlier this year. The HuffPost Pollster poll tracking model, based on all of the public survey data, still gives Coakley a roughly three percentage point advantage as of this writing (46.4 to 43.4 percent), partly because it also gives weight to the previous polling. However, the trend lines show Coakley's lead contracting significantly, and the model currently estimates her probability of winning in November as just 52 percent.
