In MA-5, Donoghue Creeping Up on Tsongas
In the September 4 special election primary for former Rep. Marty Meehan's (D-MA) House seat in Massachusettss 5th district, Niki Tsongas still leads the Democratic primary by double-digits, but her lead has been halved over the last two weeks, according to a new .
Though she led by 22% , Tsgonas now tops Eileen Donoghue by just 11 points, 40% to 29%. Jamie Eldridge is in third with 15%, while all other candidates are in single digits.
"Given the unpredictability of a never-before Day-After-Labor-Day primary, with momentum for Donoghue and comparatively flat support for Tsongas, the outcome could be closer than anticipated and an upset cannot be ruled out."
