Charlie Baker’s goal coming into the 2010 election for Massachusetts Governor was to not only give Deval Patrick a run for his money, but to defeat the incumbent. With 4 days until the Massachusetts elections, the race is only getting tighter, according to the latest political polls.

The 54-year-old Patrick assumed office in January of 2007, and he looks to fend off Republican Charlie Baker in what will surely be a race that comes down to the wire.

Baker, who has a good amount of political experience, does not have the impressive resume in politics that Patrick does. However he does have experience in business, something that may help him in this year’s election. Baker, a Harvard Graduate was the CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care for 10 years, which was a non-profit health benefits company.

The latest Rasmussen Reports political poll shows Deval Patrick maintaining a slight lead over Charlie Baker. Patrick has the support of 46% of expected voters, while Baker has the support of 44%. These numbers are inching closer. In the October 18 poll, also by Rasmussen Reports, Patrick had a 5 percentage point lead. That has since been reduced a a mere 2 percentage points.

Will Baker’s campaign be able to inch a little closer to Patrick’s? If it can, this years election for Massachusetts Governor will be one that comes down to the final votes.
