Boston Mayor Michelle Wu leads the billionaire philanthropist Josh Kraft at the first survey of the young mayor’s office in the city, but a decent quota of the voters remains at the height.
Forty-three percent of respondents In the new Emerson College Survey Let’s say they support the democratic headline, who went to Washington, DC, next week to defend the city’s immigration policies in front of a Republican controlled committee at Capitol Hill.
Kraft, the son of the owner of New England Patriot, Robert Kraft, and a long -time community activist, has 29% of voting support of 617 registered voters.
But with eight months to spend before the day of the election, almost a quarter of the respondents (24%) said they were not determined. Emerson Pollsters tasted the opinions of the city’s voters from February 24 to Wednesday.
The survey has an error margin of 3.9%.
With a clear majority (57%) saying that the city is heading for the right direction, “Wu starts strong at the first previous Aleral Survey of the year,” said Honcho Spencer Kimball.
Wu, the first woman and wife chose to celebrate the first place, commands her strongest support between Asian voters (58%) and Hispanic (54%), according to the vote.

Kraft divides the white vote with Wu from 39 to 37%, respectively, found the polls.
A plurality of respondents (41%) said they approved the Wu’s labor performance, compared to the 38% that they disapproved. Twenty-one percent of the respondents had no opinion.
The voters divided 27% to 24% according to their opinion of Kraft, with more than a third (36%) who were not determined, while 13% had never heard of it. This result suggests that Kraft, who has tried to emit as a pragmatic alternative to WU, has a land to compensate with the city’s electorate.
“Wu is more popular with voters under the age of 30, 75% of whom have a favorable vision of it and voters greater than 70, 63% of whom do they consider Wu favorably,” added Kimball.
Most voters (52%) pass Boston’s confidence law, which prevents Boston police from turning people to federal authorities exclusively for immigration violations, while 31% wasted by law and 17% are neutral.
