Abstract

Half of Massachusetts residents approve of incumbent Democratic Governor Maura Healey's overall job performance, but majorities disapprove of her handling of housing and the cost of living, the two most important problems cited by Massachusetts residents. However, Healey holds wide leads over both Michael Minogue, the frontrunner for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, and Brian Shortsleeve in the November general election.
