This early Emerson poll sounds about right: Mayor Michelle Wu is comfortably ahead of challenger Josh Kraft by 14 points, but her level of support is only 43 percent. … Here’s a surprise: A majority (53 percent) support the controversial redevelopment of White Stadium, while 22 percent oppose it and 26 percent are unsure, according to the poll. The White Stadium plan has more overall support than Wu has? I didn’t see that one coming. … The Globe has more on the Emerson poll.

Btw – From the Herald’s Joe Battenfeld: “Is it time for BosNation soccer investors to reassess?” Apparently not. See White Stadium survey results above.

Update – 2.28.25 – The Boston police union has endorsed Wu, a move that should help her fend off any soft-on-crime charges coming her way.
