BOSTON (AP) —Massachusetts Gov. He's one of a number of Republican governors threading a needle in Democratic-friendly states in part by distancing themselves from their party's standard-bearer, President Donald Trump. It seems to be working for Baker; the same poll found that while Warren is viewed favorably by 54 percent of Massachusetts voters, Baker is viewed favorably by a hefty 66 percent. Other Republican governors remain popular in Democratic states despite Trump. Critics include three Democrats hoping to unseat him: former Newton Mayor Setti Warren; environmental activist Robert Massie; and Jay Gonzalez, a budget official under former Democratic Gov.
