Markey Dominates Democratic Primary Race | Boston News

Senator Ed Markey is surging in the Democratic primary race, leading Congressman Seth Moulton by a commanding 60% to 32%, a dramatic shift from earlier this summer. Markey dominates across all demographics — men, women, young voters, college-educated and non-college voters, white voters, and voters of color — with an impressive 82% approval among likely primary voters. His progressive record and Washington experience are resonating strongly, while Moulton’s push for a “new generation” falls short on key traits like honesty and likability. Past comments on transgender rights are also hurting Moulton’s chances, as most voters say they’d prefer someone who supports LGBTQ+ rights — a clear advantage for Markey. If he wins, Markey looks poised for another term — and even leads the Republican challenger in a hypothetical general election.
