Carter Narrows Gap with Gorton | Lexington News

A new poll shows mayoral candidate Raquel Carter closing in on incumbent Mayor Linda Gorton, with Gorton leading 39% to 34%—but a sizable undecided bloc and declining approval ratings for Gorton (59% rate her performance as fair or poor) fueling Carter’s momentum. Carter’s team frames the results as proof voters crave fresh leadership on safety, affordability, and future readiness, while Gorton’s camp calls the poll “horrible” and “factually incorrect,” accusing Carter of misrepresenting data. The debate also flares over spending priorities and Carter’s real estate ties, as Gorton seeks her third term amid signs of waning support from her base.
