Coakley up by five points in Globe poll

[RandySF]

he governor’s race remains in flux with less than four weeks until the election, a new Globe poll has found.

Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley holds a five-point lead over Republican Charlie Baker, 39 percent to 34 percent, a significant shift from last week’s poll, when Baker held a three-point edge. That indicates a slowdown in any momentum Baker might have garnered since the Sept. 9 party primaries.

The swing in Coakley’s favor comes on the heels of her vigorous response to an outside group’s television ad depicting her as insufficiently protecting children in her role as the state’s top law enforcement officer. Coakley strongly denounced the ad, and her campaign deployed high-level surrogates, including Governor Deval Patrick, to join the chorus.

But the poll also shows that neither Coakley nor Baker has closed the sale, even among voters who call themselves supporters. With less than a month until the election, that leaves plenty of room for either candidate to pull ahead.
