Wu holds 'landslide lead' ahead of Boston mayoral election

BOSTON — With the election two weeks away, pollsters say new survey results show Michelle Wu possesses a “landslide lead” over Boston mayoral contender Annissa Essaibi George, although likely voters who watched their last debate were roughly split over who won that faceoff.

Wu led Essaibi George 62 percent to 30 percent in the Suffolk University poll of likely voters taken for the Boston Globe and NBC10, one of the hosts of Tuesday’s debate, which is set to start at 7 p.m. Seven percent of respondents were undecided in the poll conducted from Oct. 15-17.

“After a convincing preliminary win in September, Michelle Wu is showing no signs of letting up,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. “The wide margin seems to be similar to Mayor Marty Walsh’s lopsided win over Councilor Tito Jackson in 2017.”
