Thanks to major funding from The Boston Foundation and from our media partners at WBUR 90.9FM, this week the Dorchester Reporter is pleased to present the results of the year’s first poll focused on the election of Boston’s next mayor. The poll, conducted by the excellent Mass Inc Polling Group, was in the field over four days last week, shortly after Acting Mayor Kim Janey announced that she would seek a full four-year term— making it a six-person field of candidates.
The poll, which surveyed 552 registered voters who are Boston residents on landlines and cell phones in English and Spanish languages— also sought to gauge the electorate’s interest in issues. The poll’s margin of error is +/- 4.9 percent with a 95 percent level of confidence.
