Representative Edward J. Markey holds a wide lead over his Democratic rival for the Senate, fellow Representative Stephen F. Lynch, and would easily beat all three Republican candidates in a head-to-head matchup, according to a new poll.
Markey leads Lynch by 29.5 percentage points among potential Democratic primary voters, 50 percent to 20.5 percent, with 23 percent undecided about their preference in the April 30 primary, according to the UMass Lowell/Boston Herald poll released Wednesday night.

Comments
After 37 years at the public trough, Markey should be retiring, not running for the Senate. Term limits would solve so many problems.
Times do change and things happen. This is no time to elect a newcomer unless they're high caliber like Elizabeth Warren, no stranger to Washington.
This news has to mean: World wide Global Warming is here to stay, and Ed Markey will spend 100% of his time combatting it.
