Ed Markey, Dem Politician of 50 Years, Narrowly Leads Primary Foe in Poll

Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Ed Markey is narrowly leading his primary challenger Rep. Seth Moulton in a Bay State brawl over the future of the party, new polling suggests.

A May poll from Emerson College shows Markey leading Moulton 37% to 32% among likely Democratic primary voters.

The survey, which sampled 451 voters on May 3-4, has a 4.6% margin of error. Some 29% of Democrats are undecided.

There is a wide age gap between Markey, 79, and Moulton, 47. 

Moulton has emphasized Markey’s age throughout his campaign, saying, “With everything we learned last election, I just don’t believe Sen. Markey should be running for another six-year term at 80 years old,” in his announcement video.
