Democrat Edward J. Markey holds a 10 point lead over his Republican rival, Gabriel E.
Gomez, according to a new poll released one day before voters cast ballots in the special
election for US Senate in Massachusetts.
Markey, the veteran congressman, leads Gomez, an investor and former Navy SEAL, 52
percent to 42 percent among likely voters, with 4 percent undecided, according to the poll
by Suffolk University in Boston. In the last Suffolk poll, released June 10, Markey led
Gomez by 7 percentage points, 48 percent to 41 percent.
“These numbers suggest that tomorrow night Ed Markey will make the transformation
from congressman to senator-elect,” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University
Political Research Center, said in a statement accompanying the new poll. “All eyes will be
watching to see how Markey’s final vote tally stacks up against Elizabeth Warren’s eightpoint win over Scott Brown last November.”
The survey of 500 likely voters was conducted Wednesday through Saturday and has a
margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
The poll also surveyed three “bellwether areas” - Lowell, Dartmouth and South Hadley -thought to be predictive of the outcome on Tuesday because their margins have mirrored
the statewide results in past Senate elections. All suggest that Markey is headed toward
victory on Tuesday.

Massachusetts voters appear poised to keep their
congressional delegation blue in Tuesday's special
senatorial election, according to the latest poll. Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., leads Republican Gabriel Gomez by 10 percent, 52 to 42 percent, in the race for
Secretary of State John Kerry's former Senate seat, according to Suffolk University.
Democrats in the state have been intent on assuring that Tuesday's election won't be a repeat of the 2010 Senate special election, when Republican Scott Brown
defeated Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, a Democrat. Brown filled Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy's seat after his death, but lost reelection
against Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., in November.
Markey guards lead as Mass. Senate election approaches
In Mass., Markey hopes for boost from Obama
Throughout the campaign, Gomez attacked Markey's too-long tenure in Congress and Markey assailed Gomez's opposition to a federal assault weapons ban neither issue made a difference to 52 percent and 48 percent of voters, respectively.
While a low voter turnout rate is expected Tuesday, the 500 individuals interviewed for this poll are likely to cast a ballot. The poll has a +/- 4.4 percent margin of
error.
If Markey wins, another special election will be necessary to fill his seat in the House of Representatives. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick would set the race
between 145 and 160 days from when the seat is vacated, as he did after President Obama appointed Kerry as secretary of state. No one would be appointed to
Markey's House seat ad interim, a spokesman for Massachusetts Secretary of State Brian McNiff told CBSNews.com.

Longtime Democratic Congressman Ed Markey wins Tuesday’s
Massachusetts Senate election
Clare Kim, @clarehkim
9:27 PM on 06/25/2013
Updated 11:02 p.m. ET
Massachusetts voters have elected longtime Congressman Ed Markey as their new senator to fill the seat left
vacant by Secretary of State John Kerry. With almost all the votes counted, Congressman Ed Markey of Malden has
won 55% of the vote. His opponent, Republican Gabriel Gomez of Cohasset, has 45% of the vote.
The Democratic candidate was expected to win Tuesday’s Senate special election as he has consistently been
up in the polls in the traditionally Democratic-leaning state, leading political newcomer Gabriel Gomez.
“Thanks to the opportunities this country gave me, this son of a milkman is going to serve the state of
Massachusetts in the United States Senate,” Markey said in Tuesday night’s victory speech. ”They told me of their
frustrations with gridlock, that they wanted to make real progress creating an economy that worked for everyone,
that we put real gun safety measures on the books, that we protect a women’s right to choose!”
But the 47-year-old Republican businessman and former Navy SEAL was no match for Markey, a 37-year veteran
of the House of Representatives, in a state where President Obama won by a margin of 23 points over former
Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
The most recent poll conducted by Suffolk University put Markey 10 points ahead of Gomez–52 to 42%–among
likely voters. With both campaigns fighting to increase turnout on Tuesday, TK visited the polls to cast their ballots.
A Western new England University poll found less voter interest in special elections, with only 42% of registered
voters interested in the Massachusetts special Senate race compared to 82% of registered voters who had “a lot”
of interest in the 2012 presidential election.
With 15,000 active volunteers campaigning for Markey and 16,000 completed shifts knocking on doors to get out
the vote, the Markey campaign was able to spread a Democratic platform that resonated with voters in a highly
blue state.
Markey also outraised and outspent Gomez by a wide margin.
High-profile Democrats, including Secretary John Kerry and President Obama, rallied early on for Markey. The
Democratic Congressman said at a campaign stop in Lawrence, Mass. that Kerry had already chosen him as his
successor at the onset of the race. “He encouraged me to run for his seat,” Markey said. “And it would be a great
honor for me to serve with John Kerry and Ted Kennedy who served our state so long and so well.”
Earlier this month, President Obama praised Markey’s experience during a campaign appearance in Roxbury
Crossing, Mass. ”I’ve got to have folks with me” who stand up for “working people,” the president said. “I need Ed
Markey in the United States Senate.”
This year’s special election is a far cry from the upset in the 2010 Massachusetts Senate election when
Scott Brown unexpectedly closed the gap in the last few days of the campaign, beating Democratic candidate
Martha Coakley.
Markey will succeed William “Mo” Cowan who was appointed as interim senator by Gov. Deval Patrick after
President Obama appointed Kerry as Secretary of State. Democrats will continue to hold 54 seats in the Senate
with a potential Democratic gain in October’s special election in New Jersey.
On Dec. 28 when Ed Markey became the first person to officially announce his run for Kerry’s Senate seat,
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell predicted the Democratic candidate would win the special election, even with Scott
Brown as a contender.
“I am hereby declaring Ed Markey, the winner to be in the Senate race,” O’Donnell said on his program that
evening. Watch his discussion with MSNBC’s Ari Melber and The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart.

Poll Shows Lead for Democrat on Eve of Massachusetts Senate Election
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
BOSTON — The most recent poll in a special Senate election in Massachusetts showed the
Democratic candidate, Representative Edward J. Markey, leading Gabriel Gomez, his
Republican challenger, by 10 percentage points.
The election, being held Tuesday, is for the Senate seat vacated by John Kerry, who stepped
down to become secretary of state.
The campaign has run for less than two months, and Mr. Markey has consistently polled
ahead of Mr. Gomez, though the margins have varied. Mr. Markey was first elected to
Congress in 1976, and Mr. Gomez has never held elective office.
The poll, released Monday by the Suffolk University Political Research Center, showed Mr.
Markey with the support of 52 percent of likely voters and Mr. Gomez with the support of
42 percent.
In three bellwether towns, which have accurately reflected the statewide vote in previous
elections, Mr. Markey was leading Mr. Gomez by as much as 15 percentage points. The
towns are Lowell, Dartmouth and South Hadley.
The poll was conducted Wednesday through Sunday. The margin of sampling error was plus
or minus four percentage points.

Poll: Ed Markey up 10 over Gabriel Gomez
By: Priya Anand
June 24, 2013 12:45 PM EDT
Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) has a double-digit lead over Republican challenger Gabriel
Gomez in the Massachusetts Senate special election, according to a new poll released on
the eve of Tuesday’s special election.
The phone poll of 500 likely voters conducted Wednesday through Saturday by Suffolk
University has Markey leading 52 percent to 42 percent.
(QUIZ: How well do you know Gabriel Gomez?)
For Gomez, the poll is another in a string of poor projections for his campaign since he won the
primary. He trailed Markey by double-digits in polls ahead of the weekend — and even his
own, by 7 points.
Still, Gomez aides are still predicting an upset, POLITICO reported, saying low-turnout special
elections often produce surprises.
The Suffolk University poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percent and filtered out voters
who couldn’t name when the special election was being held or were not certain to vote.

Senate Candidates Make Last Push in
Massachusetts
By REBECCA BALLHAUS
As Massachusetts prepares for Tuesday's special U.S. Senate election, candidates Rep. Edward
Markey (D., Mass.) and Republican Gabriel Gomez have launched final pushes to bolster their
campaigns and get out the vote in what many fear will be a low-turnout election.
The two men toured the state on their final day of campaigning. Mr. Gomez, a Harvard-educated
private-equity investor and former Navy SEAL, spoke with commuters at the Braintree MBTA
train stop Monday morning, looking to persuade voters to support him on Tuesday. Mr. Markey
held a "get out the vote" drive Monday, and planned to attend a rally at his hometown YMCA in
Malden.
A Suffolk University poll released Monday showed Mr. Markey leading his opponent by 10
percentage points, with 52% support. RealClearPolitics's average of polls from June 6 to June 20
found Mr. Markey up by about 12 points, with 51.4% support.
Mr. Markey has held a comfortable lead for much of the race to fill the seat formerly held by
Secretary of State John Kerry, a Democrat. Over half of Massachusetts voters have registered as
independent, and Democrats outnumber Republicans about 3-to-1. The state clearly leans liberal
but has elected some GOP governors, including Mitt Romney, and other Republicans for statewide
office over the years.
William "Mo" Cowan, a Democrat, currently holds the Senate seat, having been appointed by the
governor early this year. Mr. Cowan isn't running for the seat.
Voters, meanwhile, appear to lack enthusiasm. In a Western New England University Polling
institute survey released Monday, 42% of registered Massachusetts voters said they have a lot of
interest in the special election, while 30% said they have some interest, and 28% said they have
little or none.
Mr. Markey has campaigned with top-tier Democrats in recent weeks, including President Barack
Obama, former President Bill Clinton, and most recently Vice President Joe Biden at a University
of Massachusetts Dartmouth rally Saturday. "Look folks, don't put yourself in a position where
you get up Tuesday morning, and it's an incredibly low turnout, and you say, 'Good God, if I'd only
gone down one more block, if I'd only made 20 more calls, if I'd only spent a little more energy this
wouldn't be the case,' " the vice president told the audience. "This is the first time, in my
online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB10001424127887323683504578565673681370086,00.html#printMode

Senate Candidates Make Last Push in Massachusetts - WSJ.com
understanding, that you've ever had a vote for a major office in this state in the middle of June."
Earlier this month, Mr. Biden cautioned voters not to take a Democratic win for granted. "Ed's
ahead, Ed should win," he said at a Washington, D.C., fundraiser for Mr. Markey. "But this is a
strange moment. There's not a lot of people paying attention."
Mr. Markey is looking to appeal to Massachusetts progressives, touting his work on climatechange legislation, health care, income inequality, and gun violence. In 2009, he introduced a
clean-energy bill that passed the House but was defeated in the Senate. He has said he is most
proud of his vote in favor of the health-care law.
Mr. Gomez, the 47-year-old son of Colombian immigrants, has cast himself as a "new kind of
Republican," moving toward the center on a number of issues. Though he doesn't personally
support abortion rights and believes health care should be handled by the states, he is against
repealing Roe v. Wade or the health-care law. He supports gay marriage and expanding
background checks for gun purchases, and in a January letter to Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick
asking to be appointed to Mr. Kerry's empty seat, he vowed to support the Democratic governor
on immigration and gun control.
Throughout the campaign, Mr. Gomez has said that he would bring a much-needed change to
American politics, and has painted Mr. Markey, a 36-year House veteran, as a Washington relic.
"We're going to change part of the Republican Party," Mr. Gomez told supporters this weekend.
"They're wrong on too many issues. … They gotta realize we're in the 21st century."
Mr. Gomez has received little help from conservative groups and outside supporters who see little
hope for a GOP victory, The Wall Street Journal reported this weekend. In 2010, these groups
mounted an aggressive campaign on behalf of Republican Scott Brown, who won the Senate seat
formerly occupied by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy. But this year, key conservative groups like
American Crossroads and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—which have contributed hundreds of
millions to congressional races in the past—haven't aided Mr. Gomez's campaign.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Senate Majority PAC, and a bevy
of liberal interest groups have spent several hundred thousand dollars on campaign ads for Mr.
Markey. His campaign had already outspent Mr. Gomez's by $4 million by early June, according
to Federal Election Commission reports.
But Mr. Gomez has said he remains confident. "We can definitely win," Mr. Gomez told "Fox News
Sunday" this weekend. "These polls move up and down, and all over the place."

any of that work in this case . and in this race and i think that has a lot to
do again with the commonwealth of massachusetts and its and his
numbers and people's lack of interesting congress interesting that that the
suffolk university poll out today also has a headline saying president
obama's approval ratings continue to decline to who knows what that
might mean in the next twenty four hours but here let's listen to a little bit
from gabriel gomez himself he was of course going door-to-door it this
weekend and asking voters for their votes and he expressed frustration
yesterday after an unaccented unsuccessful attempt if they displayed
democratic voter while this person apparently admitted he's not a fan of

Obama Campaigns for Markey, Seeks Cash for Democrats - Bloomberg
Obama Campaigns for Markey, Seeks Cash for
Democrats
By Roger Runningen - Jun 12, 2013
President Barack Obama campaigned for Democrat Edward Markey in the U.S. Senate special
election in Massachusetts, telling supporters in Boston that the veteran lawmaker will continue the
state’s legacy of sending “tough” and “smart” leaders to Washington.
Markey, who’s served for 36 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, is running against Republican
investor Gabriel Gomez in a special election on June 25 to fill the seat formerly held by Democrat
John Kerry, now secretary of state.
Obama said Markey is in the mold of Kerry and the late Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy.
“The history of senators from Massachusetts is they fight for people,” Obama said today at a rally at
Roxbury Community College. “They’re not scared of the special interests.”
“Ed’s one of you,” Obama said.
Obama spent the day focused on politics as the president seeks to bolster Democratic chances in
Massachusetts as well as the 2014 congressional elections. From Boston, Obama flew to Miami to be
the headline speaker at two fundraisers benefiting the Democratic National Committee.
The first event, with about 50 supporters, was hosted by Tom Sullivan of Miami Beach, the founder of
retail flooring firm Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc. (LL) The second, with about 175 contributors,
was hosted by businessman and philanthropist Joseph W. Blount, also of Miami Beach, who
contributed more than $200,000 to various candidates and committees last year.
Democratic Congress
Ticket costs ranged from $1,000 for a general reception to as much as $32,400 for a more elaborate
affair.
The president appealed for a Democratic House and the retention of a Democratic Senate, noting at
the Sullivan event that he was “not getting much cooperation” from Republicans on his agenda. A
Democratic Congress, he said, would allow for the appointment of federal judges and help advance

Obama Campaigns for Markey, Seeks Cash for Democrats - Bloomberg
programs to improve education, boost technology and handle climate change.
“It can be done,” he said.
In Massachusetts, Obama was seeking to avoid repeating the 2010 surprise when Republican Scott
Brown captured the Senate seat long held by Kennedy in a Democratic-leaning state.
“Obama cannot afford another Scott Brown, especially not at this time,” said Ross Baker, a political
science professor at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. “It would be a huge
embarrassment to Obama if Markey were to lose because it would be seen as a referendum on the
president at a time that he is under fire from all sides on the secrecy and eavesdropping controversies.”
Agenda Risk
Because fewer voters go to the polls in special elections, Obama pleaded for supporters to turn out and
to engage with the “same passion” that they did in the 2012 general election.
“Y ou’ve got some work to do in 2013,” he said in Massachusetts. “I need you knocking on some
doors.”
At stake for the president is his second-term agenda, including passing immigration legislation,
reaching a budget deal and proposals on issues such as pre-school education and climate change.
In Miami and at the other 2014 fundraisers he’s attended, Obama has made the argument that a
Democratic majority in Congress is the party’s best chance to thwart Republicans determined to block
his agenda.
Democrats need to gain 17 seats to recapture control of the House next year, an uphill climb
considering that the president’s party typically loses seats during the sixth year in office.
Senate Advantage
Democrats narrowly control the Senate 54-46 after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie appointed a
Republican to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Frank Lautenberg, a Democrat. If Republicans
hold that seat in a special election in October, they would have to win five more seats in the 2014
elections to seize control of the chamber.
A Suffolk University poll released June 10 showed Markey’s lead has narrowed. He’s now favored 48
percent to Gomez’s 41 percent. In the last Suffolk poll on May 9, Markey had a 17 point lead. Another
poll by WBUR in Boston released yesterday showed Markey leading Gomez 46 percent to 39 percent.
The Suffolk University poll showed Obama’s job approval rating in the state at 57 percent, down from

63 percent in mid-May. The survey of 500 likely voters conducted June 6 to June 9 had an error
margin of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
Obama’s Controversies
“While President Obama remains popular, he struggles to maintain the voters’ trust in the wake of the
three controversies” involving the Internal Revenue Service, the Benghazi attack and the seizure of
Associated Press telephone records, Suffolk University said in a statement on the poll.
The president can’t afford to lose Markey, a reliable Democratic vote.
“I don’t think that the president’s visit is a sign of concern on the part of the Markey campaign,” Baker
said. “I think it’s more a case of avoiding the question ‘Why hasn’t the president put in an
appearance.’”
Vice President Joe Biden, joined by former Democratic Vice President Al Gore, helped raise about
$250,000 for Markey at a Washington fundraiser yesterday, according to a pool report, citing the
Markey campaign. Markey himself wasn’t there. He was taking part in the second of three debates
with Gomez.
Republican Candidate
Gomez stepped down from his position as a principal in Advent International Corp., a Boston-based
private equity firm. He’s a former Navy SEAL with no political experience and has been using his
Latino heritage and fluency in Spanish as a bridge to voters.
Both candidates support an overhaul of immigration laws. From there, the views diverge.
Markey supports a nationwide ban on assault weapons that Gomez opposes. Gomez backs a no-fly
zone over Syria while Markey has opposed it. Gomez said he’d consider voting for an antiabortionrights Supreme Court justice. Markey wouldn’t. In a debate last night, they sparred again over assault
weapons while they agreed that the minimum wage should be raised to $10 an hour and that the
mortgage-interest tax deduction should be preserved.
Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona and former New Y ork Mayor Rudy Giuliani have
campaigned with Gomez. Though he’s a Republican, Gomez has acknowledged that he gave money
to the Obama campaign during the 2008 election cycle.
Still, he chided Markey for seeking Obama’s appearance.
“While my opponent Congressman Markey is depending on the national Democratic machine in

Washington, I’m depending on people of Massachusetts -- veterans, first responders, law
enforcement, and others who live their lives putting people before party and politics,” Gomez said in a
statement.

A new poll of likely voters released Monday found Democrat Edward J. Markey leading
Republican Gabriel E. Gomez by seven percentage points, two weeks before Massachusetts
voters choose their next US Senator.
The Suffolk University poll found Markey ahead 48 percent to Gomez’s 41 percent, with 10
percent of respondents still undecided. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.4 percent.
The race appears to have tightened substantially since early May, when a Suffolk
University/7 News poll found that Markey had a 17-point lead over Gomez.
Each candidate has gone on the attack in recent weeks. Still, in the new poll, the candidates
were both viewed more favorably than unfavorably by voters.
Forty-four percent of those polled had a favorable opinion of Markey, a longtime US
representative, while 37 percent had an unfavorable opinion of him. Thirty-eight percent
had a favorable opinion of Gomez, a private equity investor and former US Navy SEAL,
while 33 percent had an unfavorable opinion of him.

On Wednesday, President Obama is set to campaign for Markey in Boston. Obama bested
Republican Mitt Romney 61 percent to 38 percent in Massachusetts last year. The Suffolk
poll found the president remains well regarded in the state. Sixty percent of those surveyed
had a favorable opinion of Obama, while only 35 percent had an unfavorable opinion of
him.
The poll indicates, however, that the president’s popularity has diminished over the last
month. In the May Suffolk University/7 News poll, 67 percent had a favorable opinion of
the President.
Since then, a trio of controversies has taken center stage in Washington, D.C.
Republicans have hammered the White House over disclosures that the Internal Revenue
Service targeted conservative groups for greater scrutiny, that the Department of Justice
obtained the communications records of a number of reporters during investigations of
leaks of classified information, and about the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on a US diplomatic
facility in Benghazi, Libya.
Last month, Gomez ignited controversy when he called Markey “pond scum.” The new
survey asked about the issue. Seventy-eight percent of respondents said they do not believe
the congressman is “pond scum.”

In Mass., Markey hopes for boost from Obama

With less than two weeks to go until Massachusetts
elects its next senator, President Obama headed to
Boston on Wednesday to make a last-minute pitch for longtime Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., who is battling it out with Republican Gabriel Gomez to keep the
vacant Senate seat in Democratic hands.
Dropping by a campaign rally in Roxbury, Mass., Mr. Obama lauded Markey's credentials as an advocate for the middle-class, and stressed the importance of
having "folks in the US Senate willing to stand up for working people just like I have."
"Ed has a track record," Mr. Obama said. "He's not somebody who comes out of nowhere says he's for something and then maybe he's for something else. He's
been steady and he's been constant working on your behalf. He's been strong and he's been principled and that's the kind of leader we need right now."
In Mass., sleepy - but high-stakes - race to replace Kerry in Senate
Markey and Gomez are competing to replace longtime Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who vacated his seat this year after being named Secretary of State. The
special election is slated for June 25.
According to a recent poll from Suffolk University, Markey leads Gomez by a seven-point margin, with 48 percent to Gomez's 41 percent. Even in a solidly blue
state with a long history of elected Democratic officials, however, Markey's election is not a guarantee: Republican Scott Brown won the 2010 special Senate
election to replace the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., tipping the scales of Senate power in a critical loss for Democrats. And the Suffolk poll showed
Markey's lead narrowing: A May survey polled Markey at 52 percent and Gomez at 35 percent.
"Ed Markey continues to lead but the margin has dwindled," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston, in a
statement. "Markey's core ballot test number has fallen below 50 percent and recent Obama administration scandals, especially the Associated Press phone
records scrutiny, have touched a nerve with likely voters who are holding back or no longer supporting Markey and President Obama with the same intensity."

In Mass., Markey hopes for boost from Obama - CBS News
In their second debate Tuesday night, Gomez attempted to make up yet more ground, touting his support for bills mandating equal pay for women, background
checks for guns, and an increase in the minimum wage, while Markey dismissed his positions as tepid and insufficient.
"I think we should increase [the minimum wage] to 10 dollars, but I think the problem is that you think that is what is going to satisfy people, and the reality is that
people don't want to just earn 10 dollars per hour," Gomez said, according to the Boston Globe. "They want to have a chance at an American dream."
"That's not the dream," Markey responded, according to the Globe. "That's just the beginning of the dream."
"Gomez is getting more Democratic by the day," said Maurice Cunningham, associate professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts at Boston,
in an interview with CBSNews.com, and added that Gomez is also learning from Scott Brown's mistakes in 2012. "In the Brown-Warren race, Brown took a lot
of heat for voting against equal pay for women and Gomez has said that's just common sense. He's really taking positions that have been more Democratic."
There are a few key distinctions, however, between both Brown's unsuccessful 2012 re-election bid and his 2010 victory. First of all, Massachusetts Democrats
have sworn to remain vigilant in the interest of preventing another 2010 disaster.
"We took that January special election for granted, which was an unforgivable sin," said state Democratic Party chair John Walsh in an interview with
CBSNews.com this April. "We let our guard down. That will never happen again. We've learned our lessons from Scott Brown and we are entirely geared up."
Moreover, Cunningham argues, Brown was a tested candidate with a solid base and a record of victory. Brown served as a state legislator for over a decade
before his Senate bid; Gomez, a former Navy SEAL who now works in the private equity field, is running his first political campaign.
"Gomez is nowhere near the quality candidate of Scott Brown," he said. "Gomez is still on the training wheels."
Ultimately, though, Cunningham thinks this election is about President Obama as much as it is about the candidates themselves.
"I don't think it's about Markey very much at all - and I don't think it's about Gomez at all, either," he said. He attributes the dip in Markey's popularity to the
ongoing controversies surrounding the Obama administration in Washington, but ultimately thinks things will "line up" for Markey.
"Obama is still very popular here and the economy is better than it has been," he said. "It should line up for Markey to win."
Still, the president recognized on Wednesday that much will come down to turnout on June 25.
"We've got a whole lot of Democrats in this state," he said. "You've got to turn out in this election. You can't think, 'Oh, I did my work in 2012.' You've got some
work to do right now in 2013."

Obama makes Massachusetts swing to boost Markey's Senate bid
By Mark Felsenthal
6/12/2013 9:51:15 AM ET
NBCNews.com
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama travels to Massachusetts on Wednesday to offer a
boost to Senate candidate Edward Markey in a special election this month that could be a gauge of public
reaction to controversies plaguing the Obama administration.
Polls show the lead held by Democratic congressman Markey over Republican challenger Gabriel Gomez
is narrowing ahead of the June 25 election for the Senate seat that was vacated when Obama picked
John Kerry as his secretary of state.
Obama is to speak at a rally near Boston.
The election could show the extent of political damage from a string of controversies in Obama's
administration including the IRS's targeting of conservative groups for special scrutiny, the Justice
Department's seizure of Associated Press phone records, recent disclosures about the attack last year on
a U.S. compound in Libya, and the leak revealing sweeping government surveillance programs.
Major Market Indices
A liberal Democrat, Markey has represented Massachusetts in the House of Representative since 1976
and has won re-election by large margins. He defeated Representative Stephen Lynch in the Democratic
primary for the open seat in April. Massachusetts is a Democratic-leaning state.
Gomez, a former private equity executive and former Navy SEAL, has sought to make Markey's long
tenure in Congress a liability. A Suffolk University poll on Monday showed Markey holding a 48 percent to
41 percent lead over Gomez, down from a 52 percent to 40 percent margin in the previous week.
Obama himself remains popular nationally, but the controversies are weighing on his approval ratings,
Suffolk University Political Research Center Director David Paleologos said.
Democrats want to avoid a repeat of the upset victory in Massachusetts of Republican Scott Brown over
state Attorney General Martha Coakley in 2010 in the special election for the seat left open by the death of
long-time U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy. Coakley was faulted for running a lackluster campaign and
failing to counter the everyman appeal of Brown.
Obama later on Wednesday is to speak at two fundraising events for the Democratic National Committee
in Florida.

Ed Markey up 7 over Gabriel Gomez in Massachusetts Senate
special election
By: James Hohmann
June 10, 2013 02:29 PM EDT
Another poll shows Republican Gabriel Gomez trailing by only single digits in the
Massachusetts Senate special election.
Frontrunner Rep. Ed Markey (D) leads Gomez by 7 points, 48 percent to 41 percent, in a
Suffolk University statewide survey of likely voters released Monday. Ten percent are
undecided.
Determined to avoid a repeat of Scott Brown’s 2010 upset, national Democrats are funneling
hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Bay State. And President Barack Obama is visiting
the state on Wednesday to boost Markey.
The Suffolk poll finds that Obama is viewed favorably by 60 percent of likely voters, with 35
percent viewing him unfavorably. His approval rating is 57 percent, down from 63 percent in a
May poll.
Obama won the state by 23 points over Mitt Romney, the former governor, last November.
“Markey’s core ballot test number has fallen below 50 percent and recent Obama
administration scandals, especially the Associated Press phone records scrutiny, have
touched a nerve with likely voters who are holding back or no longer supporting Markey and
President Obama with the same intensity,” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk
University Political Research Center in Boston, said in a statement.
The second of three debates ahead of the June 25 election is on Tuesday night.
Suffolk surveyed 500 likely voters last Thursday through Sunday. The margin of error is plus or
minus 4.4 percent.

Obama Joins Fight for Massachusetts Senate Seat
As President Stumps for Democrat, Republican Opponent Tries to Claim the Center
By COLLEEN MCCAIN NELSON
BOSTON—Gabriel Gomez, the Republican trying to pull an upset victory in this month's U.S.
Senate race in Massachusetts, calls himself "green" on environmental issues, backs an increase in
the federal minimum wage and says the GOP should support background checks for more gun
buyers.
He is trying to cast himself as a centrist in a state where independents account for more than half
of all voters, and Republicans for a mere 11%.
But on Wednesday, President Barack Obama joined an
effort by Democrats to paint a different picture of Mr.
Gomez's party, saying it is dominated by its
conservative wing and responsible for gridlock in
Washington.
Associated Press
President Obama campaigned in Boston on
Wednesday for Rep. Ed Markey, center, who
leads in his campaign for a Massachusetts
Senate seat.
"A whole bunch of Republicans out there are not
interested in getting things done. They think
compromise is a dirty word.…They think environmental
regulations are what's holding us back," the president
said at a rally for Rep. Ed Markey, Mr. Gomez's
Democratic opponent.
Mr. Obama's appearance was part of a broader push by
the Democratic Party to support Mr. Markey, who
holds a narrow lead in polls ahead of the June 25 election to fill the seat held by Democrat John
Kerry, who is now secretary of state. Tuesday night, Vice President Joe Biden tried to link Mr.
Gomez to the conservative wing of the GOP and to prevent him from claiming the political center.
"This is not your father's Republican Party," Mr. Biden said at a fundraiser for Mr. Markey, as he
sought to paint tea party-aligned Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky as the face
of the GOP. Mr. Biden said the difference between the two parties was the largest of his lifetime,
calling it "a gigantic chasm."
Democrats are hoping to energize their party's voters while driving others away from the GOP,
but the effectiveness of the strategy remains unclear, especially in a state with so many
independents. Mr. Obama's approval ratings among that group have fallen, with 59% of

Obama Joins Fight for Massachusetts Senate Seat - WSJ.com
independents nationwide disapproving of his job performance as president, according to a recent
Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, and only 28% approving.
Moreover, independents are no more likely to see Democrats in a positive light than the GOP. In
the Journal/NBC survey, 21% of independents had a positive view of the Republican Party, and
18% had a positive view of the Democratic Party.
In Massachusetts, however, Mr. Gomez is making a point of drawing distance from the GOP. His
campaign took a welcoming tone toward Mr. Obama's visit to the state, which the president won
by 23 points in November.
Leonardo Alcivar, spokesman for the 47-year-old Mr. Gomez, said the Republican candidate and
the president could find common ground on many issues. "We believe that any time you have the
commander-in-chief in your state, it's an honor," Mr. Alcivar said.
Mr. Gomez's strategy appears to have put him within pouncing distance of Mr. Markey. A recent
poll by Suffolk University found Mr. Markey leading, 48% to 41%, a significant narrowing from a
May survey. It was one of two recent polls to show Mr. Markey with a seven-point lead.
A fundraising email sent this week from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) sounded a note of
concern. Citing Mr. Markey's single-digit lead, it said: "If we don't take it seriously, we could lose
the Senate seat."
The email also noted that in 2010, Republican Scott Brown won an upset victory in a special
election for the Senate. He was defeated by Ms. Warren last year.
Mr. Gomez, the son of Colombian immigrants, is a former Navy SEAL with a Harvard M.B.A. who
has worked as a private-equity investor. Mr. Markey, 66, has been a force in Congress on
telecommunications and environmental issues. He is the longest-serving House member from
New England, winning his first election in 1976.
The president has been crisscrossing the country, raising funds for the party and asking
supporters to help him ensure that Democrats control Congress. "I can't do it by myself," Mr.
Obama said Wednesday. "I need Ed Markey in the United States Senate."
Brad Dayspring, spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said that in 2014,
Mr. Obama could be more hindrance than help in several Republican-leaning states where
Democratic senators are up for re-election.

New Massachusetts Senate Poll Suggests Support for Markey Is Slipping - NYTimes.com

New Massachusetts Senate Poll Suggests Support for Markey Is Slipping
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
BOSTON — Representative Edward J. Markey’s lead over Gabriel Gomez, a Republican
businessman and former member of the Navy SEALs, in the special Senate election in
Massachusetts has slipped by 10 percentage points since May, according to a new poll, which
suggests that Mr. Markey has lost support among women and independents.
The poll, by Suffolk University, shows Mr. Markey with 48 percent support and Mr. Gomez
with 41 percent among likely voters – a difference within the poll’s margin of sampling error
of plus or minus 4 percentage points. The same poll in May showed Mr. Markey ahead by 17
percentage points. Some considered the May poll an outlier, as most other polls showed Mr.
Markey with a smaller lead, though special elections are notoriously difficult in polling since
turnout is so unpredictable.
The new poll found that support for Mr. Markey had flagged just as concern about President
Obama’s handling of various controversies in Washington had grown. Mr. Obama is
scheduled to campaign here for Mr. Markey on Wednesday.
David Paleologos, the director of the Suffolk poll, said that since the White House
controversies, “voters seem to be pulling back or pausing” on support for Mr. Markey’s
candidacy.
Mr. Markey still leads Mr. Gomez among women, 47 percent to 31 percent, according to the
poll. But his advantage among them has shrunk since May, when he was leading among
women, 56 percent to 33 percent.
And the percentage of women who are undecided has risen sharply since May, to 21 percent,
according to the poll.
At the same time, Mr. Gomez has strengthened his support among independents and now
leads among them, 46 percent to 36 percent.
This could spell danger for Mr. Markey, given that his campaign is banking on support from
female voters to compensate for his lack of support among independents. This is often the
dynamic with Democrats in Massachusetts — Elizabeth Warren, for example, built a strong
20-percentage-point lead among women in her race in November, which made up for her
deficit among independents.

New Massachusetts Senate Poll Suggests Support for Markey Is Slipping - NYTimes.com
But to win, a Republican needs at least 60 percent of independents, Mr. Paleologos said, and
Mr. Gomez is still 14 percentage points shy of reaching that level.
The Markey campaign thought it gained ground among women last week after Mr. Gomez
said he could vote for a Supreme Court nominee regardless of where the nominee stood on
abortion rights. He also indicated that he could support a 24-hour waiting period before a
woman could have an abortion.
While voters in the poll said by 2 to 1 that Mr. Markey, who strongly supports abortion
rights, won the candidates’ first debate last week, only 21 percent of voters watched the
debate in the first place. The Senate race, which has stirred considerably less interest than
last year’s Senate race, has had to compete for attention among the news media with the
marathon bombings, the criminal trial of James “Whitey” Bulger and the Stanley Cup
playoffs.
The poll also showed that the controversies in Washington have taken a toll on views toward
Mr. Obama even here in deep-blue Massachusetts, which voted for him last year over Mitt
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, by 61 percent to 31 percent.
Mr. Obama’s job approval rating is still relatively high at 57 percent, but that fell from 63
percent in May, according to the poll. His 67 percent personal favorability rating in May is
down to 60 percent.
“While President Obama remains popular, he struggles to maintain the voters’ trust in the
wake of the three controversies which have become national news since the May Suffolk
poll,” Mr. Paleologos said.
Half of voters told the pollsters that they believed the Obama administration did not
deliberately mislead the public regarding the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, but 43 percent said
the administration did mislead the public.
And only half said they believed that the president was being truthful when he said he did
not have prior knowledge that the I.R.S. was giving extra scrutiny to conservative groups.
The Suffolk poll was conducted Thursday, June 6, through Sunday, June 9.
Mr. Markey and Mr. Gomez are scheduled to debate Tuesday night in Springfield and meet
in a third and final debate June 18 in Boston. The special election is June 25.

Markey still up in Massachusetts Senate battle
Posted by
CNN Political Unit
(CNN) – Rep. Ed Markey still leads his Republican rival in the battle for Massachusetts' open Senate seat, according to a poll released Monday, though his margin has shrunk in the
final weeks of the campaign.
The Suffolk University survey showed Markey, a longtime Democratic congressman from the Bay State, ahead of Gabriel Gomez 48%-41%. Gomez is a businessman and former
Navy SEAL. Previous polls have consistently given Markey the edge, including a seventeen-point advantage in one poll from early May.
Other surveys have shown a much tighter contest. In Suffolk's poll, voters said they were paying close attention to the slate of controversies currently facing President Barack Obama
– a fact the pollster attributed to the narrowing of Markey's lead.
"Ed Markey continues to lead but the margin has dwindled," David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, wrote in a statement. "Markey's core
ballot test number has fallen below 50 percent and recent Obama administration scandals, especially the Associated Press phone records scrutiny, have touched a nerve with likely
voters who are holding back or no longer supporting Markey and President Obama with the same intensity."
Massachusetts voters will choose a new U.S. senator in a June 25 special election. The winner will finish the remainder of former Sen. John Kerry's term. Kerry left Congress after
becoming secretary of state.
The race has been marked by bitter sparring between the two rivals. Markey has cast newcomer Gomez as a partisan Republican, including in the pair's first debate held last week
when he called Gomez "the same old stale" type of Republican that lost last year's presidential race.
For his part, Gomez has equated his Democratic rival to "pond scum" for a web video that pictured him on screen with Osama bin Laden.
In Monday's poll, voters were questioned about the two rivals' claims – with neither gaining much traction.
Only 13% said they agreed with Gomez's "pond scum" charge, while 21% said they believed Markey when he characterizes Gomez as a tool of the "extreme right wing."
The Suffolk poll was conducted by telephone June 6-9 from 500 likely voters. The sampling error was plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
CNN's Kevin Liptak and Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.
