Rasmussen: Patrick Losing Momentum

In the Massachusetts governor's race, incumbent Deval Patrick (D) has lost some momentum, according to a new Rasmussen poll:
Patrick 41 (-4 vs. last poll, May 10)
Baker (R) 34 (+3)
Cahill (I) 16 (+2)
Und 9
These numbers put Baker closer to striking distance of Patrick, whose disapproval rating exceeds his approval rating. Last week's gubernatorial debate seems to have helped Patrick's opponents.

Another interesting tidbit from these Rasmussen numbers: President Obama's approval rating in the Bay State has fallen seven points over the past month (with 56% approving and 43% disapproving).
