The Boston Globe has endorsed Baker. [View all]

The Globe is also showing Baker nine points up.

Other polls are within the margin of error, but Coakley is not ahead in any of them and the Globe's is the most recent.

And, I imagine the Globe endorsement is going to kick him up at least a tick.


I don't often wish I had been dead wrong, but this is one of them. She is not a good candidate.

All that said, NEVER give up on an election. Schumer said Sunday that the ground game alone is worth several points that do not show up in the polls.

Vote and GOTV.
