An elected incumbent mayor of Boston hasn't been ousted since 1949. Here are the odds Kraft faces in bid to unseat Wu. - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Such is the power of incumbency in Boston: It took a conviction and prison sentence to unseat Curley, and in the 76 years that followed, not a single incumbent has lost, even when he appeared vulnerable.
35% : She's also gone on defense: Wu recently walked back a controversial center bus lane on Boylston Street, and removed a series of speed humps on a stretch of road in Jamaica Plain in response to residents' complaints.
15% : While Trump won a slightly larger share of the Boston vote in 2024 than previously, he's still largely unpopular in the city where 76.7 percent of voters backed Kamala Harris.
