BOSTON — Gov. Maura Healey holds a commanding lead over all three Republican gubernatorial challengers in a new University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll, with none of the GOP candidates breaking 30 percent support and roughly 15 percent of voters still undecided.
The poll showed Healey leading Mike Kennealy, Brian Shortsleeve, and Mike Minogue by at least 25 points each. Her approval rating in the survey stood at 51 percent, while a separate Morning Consult poll put it at 62 percent.

The Massachusetts GOP nominating convention is set for April 25 in Worcester, where the field will be narrowed to two candidates. Those two will then compete in a September primary, giving the eventual nominee roughly two months to make the case against Healey before November.
The Republican field has focused its attacks on Healey over immigration, housing costs, and state spending, though none of those issues have moved the needle in polling so far.
