RATINGS CHANGE: Governing Magazine Moves Massachusetts Gov Race From “Likely Republican” To “Safe Republican”

As GOP Governor Charlie Baker continues to earn high marks for his dynamic leadership in Massachusetts, he finds himself in increasingly strong position for re-election this November.

Just this week, Governing Magazine updated its race rating for Massachusetts’ gubernatorial contest from “likely Republican” to “safe Republican,” citing Governor Baker’s “30-point lead over potential rivals in recent polls.” This comes after both the Cook Political Report and Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball shifted their ratings for Governor Baker’s re-election to or “safe Republican.”

With less than four months to go until Election Day, Governor Baker’s sky-high approval ratings and his enduring commitment to delivering results through bipartisan leadership have him firmly on track for victory.
