Poll finds a +22 point net favorability for Wu* and 57% think Boston is headed in the right direction. 50-50 split on bike lanes, White Stadium redevelopment has a +31 point net support (53% support - 22% oppose), Wu leads Kraft on housing affordability 38% to 25% (“nobody” gets 31%).

*approval is only +3.
