On September 24, WBUR released a poll for the Massachusetts gubernatorial race. The results: Democrat Martha Coakley 43%; Republican Charlie Baker 34%; United Independent Party Evan Falchuk 2%; independent Jeff McCormick 1%; independent Scott Lively less than 1%; undecided or refused 20%. See here for more detail. Scroll down to page seven for the results.
These results suggest that the United Independent Party will not achieve party status on election day, because Falchuk needs 3% of the vote to do that. Chances are the only ballot-qualified party in Massachusetts after November 2014 will be the Democratic, Republican, and Green Parties. The Green Party is not now ballot-qualified but is very likely to poll at least 3% for one of the three lesser statewide offices. Thanks to PoliticalWire for the link.

Kayne west style: I fell I can speak for Richard Winger in saying welcome to the site. Hope you will post replys often. Sometimes it seems I am the only one who does I know it appears I dominate the reply section. Don’t know your political or philosophical positions, but if you agree with the majority of the repliers in that we have a 2 party monopoly in this country, and need to open up the ballot to Independents and 3rd parties, you’re among company.
