BOSTON — More bad news arrived Wednesday for the boosters of Boston’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics: A new poll shows that just 39 percent of voters statewide support the bid, while 49 percent oppose it.
The latest poll, by WBUR, one of the National Public Radio radio stations here, shows that support has waned since the last statewide polls, taken in April. The latest numbers suggest that the boosters’ efforts to right their ship have not succeeded.
One likely reason for the slippage is a discrepancy reported last month in the bid book from Boston 2024, the private group organizing the bid.
