BOSTON — Poll results released Friday show that the ballot question asking voters whether or not the state should lift the cap on the number of charter schools allowed to open annually remains a toss-up, while momentum is gaining for backers of legalizing marijuana.
A Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll of 500 likely voters, conducted this past Monday and concluding on Wednesday, involved "live telephone interviews of adults," with the results showing that the charter question remains deadlocked at 45.4 percent between backers and opponents, with 9 percent still undecided.
HAVERHILL — Gov. Charlie Baker, who has a stake in the outcomes of the presidential race, two major ballot questions and numerous legislative races, anticipates he'll spend election day trying to turn out the vote and election night at home watching the results come in.
"My guess is that I'll be spending most of my time on election day working polling places and visiting folks, and doing what I can to help turn out the vote," Baker told the News Service on Wednesday after a grant announcement in Haverhill.
