SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) – A new poll released Monday shows President Obama with an almost two-to-one lead in the Bay State over former Mass. Governor Mitt Romney.
The statewide poll of 440 likely voters, conducted by the Western New England University Polling Institute in partnership with The Republican and MassLive.com, shows Obama with a 30 point lead over Romney – 63 percent to 33 percent.
The poll has a margin of error of +/- 4.7 percent.
Calls were made by the polling institute from September 28 through October 4, which includes data from one night that was after the first presidential debate held in Denver.
WNE’s director of the polling institute Tim Vercellotti says that it is not possible to know whether the debate had any impact on Massachusetts voters from that one night of polling.
The President’s 30 percent lead is up from his 22 percent lead found in another WNE poll conducted in early September.
Pollsters found that the President’s current 30 point lead is up from a WNE poll conducted earlier in September.
To view the complete poll results, including their findings among women and each candidate’s favorability, you can find them on WNE’s website.

There’s a shocker! Lemmings!!
:*( so sad!
hahahahaha YES! Obama 2012!!!
Romney is no good! Even mass dosent believe in him! Oh yeah because he is a liar! Smh
Are we supposed to be surprised?
The only poll I care about is the one on Novemeber 6. I won’t base my predictions on the opinions of people who are home during the work day and agree to take a political survey. Most Romney supporters are too busy working to take polls.
And all you rebels need to be in texas! Im pretty sure u have some family members on the system! Some people do need help! Its a problem when its abused! #damnit!
MY father always tought me, you can’t fix stupid.
Good!! And no I’m not dependent on the government but I do know Romney is no good for us
Bryan grow up. The biggest mooches in this country are the 1% and corporate welfare. People born into poverty aren’t lazy they are given poor education compared to affluent communities. Ignoramus
It’s a Democrat state what do you expect?
How can you vote for Romney? His dad was nothing but a welfare moocher himself. Love the talking point kiddies around here.
Not surprising—with this record Obama should be 30 points behind. Ma. voters just can’t shake that liberal democrat mindset!
Who the heck are they surveying? I never get surveyed. I have to agree with Mr O;Connor.
Jeff is right, you can’t fix stupid
It’s sad that people are either too stupid or lazy to educate themselves. Obama has spent 300mm trying to convince you he is friggin Robin Hood and you believe him. He has spent ‘Trillion” making sure his backers keep the funds coming. The top 5% provide over 40% of tax revenues while 47% pay nothing or receive some sort of benefit. If we tax all these “Evil ” corporations to death as we have been, where will we all go for jobs after they all smarten up and move to business friendly countries? So many people are concerned about what the government can do for them. I am concerned with the type of country we are going to leave to our children. At the current rate of inflation, in 6 years our dollar will be worth half what it is today. It is already worth half today than it was 16 years ago. When our dollar is worthless, who will help the poor? Who will guard our borders? When our dollar is worthless, what will happen to our children. So keep borrowing half our budget so we can fund free cable, cell phones housing , and green energy start up money. Screw our kids, they can learn to speak Chinese I guess. As long as we have what we “WANT” today.
After all people vote for people who say there for little government and tax cuts for real Americans when their not.
Psst our real overspending comes from war. Not social services or PBS.
By the way; Bush the “conservative” put us into this debt to begin with… I guess you can’t fix stupid.
The 47% barely have enough to survive you’re ridiculous to think its a walk in the park because their not paying one type of tax. Turn off the fox news it rots your brain.
What should it tell a person when a state where he was Governor has this poll. Obama/Biden 2012
Very sad indeed. As Winston Churchill observed, “A 20 year old Republican has no heart and a forty year old democrat has no brain.” Lemmings rule in Massachusetts and elsewhere.
It’s the great paradox of our time; liberals who consider themselves sophisticated, enlightened and intellectual, trapped by subconscious emotions that direct their thoughts and behaviors. How competitive would Obama be if he was not black? Think of Carter and the similarities between his administration and the present one. Carter was Pummeled by Reagan. Many Americans saw Carter as a pathetic, tragic figure but many democrats today refuse to see Obama for what he is, an empty suit, as many Americans witnessed in last week’s debate.
