The race for the 10th Congressional District between Democrat William Keating and Republican Jeffrey Perry is a statistical dead heat, according to poll results released Sunday afternoon by WGBH and MassInc.

The poll of 400 likely voters in the 10th Congressional District gives Keating a slight edge over Perry, 46 percent to 43 percent with only 4 percent undecided and 5 percent leaning toward one of the three independent candidates in the race. The results have a 4.9 percent margin of error.

Poll results:

In a poll of 400 likely voters in the 10th Congressional District:


Preference when undecided voters are pressed to choose:
William Keating: 46 percent
Jeffrey Perry: 43 percent
Other candidate: 5 percent
Undecided: 4 percent
Refused: 2 percent

Without leaners, Perry is up by 1.

Considering who Perry is, that's not good news, even if everybody knew that the race would be a hard one and it is clear it will come to GOTV.

5. An article I just found about Officer Perry

Republican congressional candidate Jeffrey D. Perry was involved, as a Wareham police sergeant in the early-1990s, in two instances in which an officer under his command conducted illegal strip searches of teenage girls, cases that are under new scrutiny as Perry’s political career advances.

In one case, Perry was the supervisor at the scene when the officer stuck his hand in a 14-year-old girl’s underwear, ostensibly searching for drugs. In the other, Perry accompanied the same officer to the house of a 16-year-old girl to tell her parents that she had voluntarily pulled down her pants to show she did not have any drugs.

Perry, now a state representative, was not charged in the cases, but the officer who searched the girls pleaded guilty to indecent assault and other charges and was sentenced to four years in prison. Perry was named as a defendant in civil cases brought by the girls’ parents, which were settled out of court.

Perry yesterday adamantly denied wrongdoing, saying he was at the scene in the case of the 14-year-old but did not witness the search. In the case of the 16-year-old, he said he was relaying what the officer had told him.
