The MassINC Polling Group conducted a survey of 800 Massachusetts voters, including an oversampling of 200 voters living in Gateway Cities: Brockton, Fall River, Fitchburg, Haverhill, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, New Bedford, Pittsfield, Springfield, and Worcester. The margin of error is +/-4.4 percentage points. This poll took place from March 12, 2026 through March 17, 2026.

This poll explored public opinion on key issues affecting voters, including political preferences, transportation, voting behavior, and demographics. This poll was sponsored by the Massachusetts Voter Table (MVT) and Transportation for Massachusetts (T4MA), and was preceded by a focus group of lower-income voters in Boston and Gateway Cities on transportation and voting issues.

MVT has summarized key issues for our readers. This summary is taken from the MassINC Topline Polling Group report. Please find the full reports, provided by MassINC, at the bottom of this blog post.

April is Second Chance Month - a time to recognize that everyone deserves the opportunity to move forward after they’ve paid their debt. But in Massachusetts, outdated CORI sealing laws continue to hold thousands of people back from jobs, housing and stability.

MVT is working hard to change that this year, by advocating on behalf of legislation that would help thousands of people have the opportunity to get their CORIs sealed automatically. We are pushing for shorter CORI sealing waiting periods and a clean slate system that automatically seals eligible records. But, we can’t do this work without you.

Your gift today will:

▪️ Power our advocacy efforts to pass automatic Clean Slate legislation.
▪️Support our team of Table members hosting CORI sealing clinics and information sessions in Gateway cities across the state.
▪️Expand outreach support our May statewide dialer to educate voters and encourage them to ask their representatives to pass the bill this session.
▪️Strengthen our efforts focused on fairness, dignity, and opportunity.
▪️Every dollar we raise today will help move us closer to a Massachusetts where a past mistake doesn’t define a person’s future.
▪️This Second Chance Month, take action. Make a donation today and help unlock opportunities for thousands across Massachusetts.

Thank you for standing with us and believing in second chances.

Second Chance Month is about fairness. Over 520,000 Massachusetts residents deserve a real . Clean Slate legislation would end permanent punishment for old, eligible records and help people rebuild their lives.
