Poll: Capuano has 13-point Lead in Mass. House Primary

Forty-eight percent of voters back Rep. Mike Capuano while 35 percent support challenger Ayanna Pressley in advance of the Democratic primary for the 7^th Congressional District in Massachusetts, reveals a poll by WBUR radio.

Capuano had a 12-point lead back in February.

"We're also still seeing the dynamic where Ayanna Pressley is running about even or even perhaps slightly ahead in Boston, where Michael Capuano polls such strong support in surrounding communities that that's enough to give him a solid edge in the race," Steve Koczela, president of the MassINC Polling Group, which conducted the survey for WBUR.

The primary will be September 4 – the day after Labor Day, according to Politico.
