In the race to fill a Democrat-held House seat in eastern Massachusetts, the Republican candidate now has a slight lead following an early sprint by his Democratic opponent.

Republican Richard Tisei now leads Democrat Seth Moulton by 41% to 39% among likely voters in the contest to represent the Sixth Congressional District in northeast Massachusetts, according to a poll released Wednesday by Emerson College. Early in September, Mr. Moulton was in the lead by 44% to 36%.

The poll surveyed 429 likely voters was conducted Sept. 26-29, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.68 percentage points.

Mr. Moulton beat 18-year incumbent John Tierney in the Democratic primary in early September, but since then an enthusiasm gap has emerged between the Democrat and his general election opponent, according to the Emerson pollsters. They found that 50% of Tisei supporters were very enthusiastic about the race, compared to 34% for Mr. Moulton.

Pollsters attributed the Republican enthusiasm to the opportunity to turn the seat red for the first time in 18 years. Mr. Tisei lost an earlier bid in 2012 by just 1% of the vote.

Mr. Moulton, a Harvard Business School graduate and former Marine who served in Iraq, became the first Massachusetts Democrat to defeat a sitting member of Congress from his own party in 22 years, when he won the primary. Retired generals David H. Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal have backed him.

Mr. Tisei is a former state Senate minority leader and had an edge over Mr. Tierney in polls before Mr. Moulton prevailed in the primary.

Democrat William Rankin has challenged Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater to a debate, but just like nearly everything else with Rankin's campaign the idea is not gaining much traction.

In a letter dated today, Rankin said he is willing to debate his Republican opponent "anytime and anywhere on the issues." Because they are both from South Florida, he suggested Palm Beach as a location and floated the ideas of a TV station or a local university as the setting.

"While you may find it more politically advantageous to publically attack the Democratic Governor of New York and the Democratic nominee for Governor of Florida, the people of Florida deserve something more; a CFO candidate that is focused on the relevant issues at home such as safe keeping of the states assets and solvency of public employees retirement fund, jobs and economic prosperity, human dignity issues, and lower insurance rates for the people of Florida and their families," Rankin wrote.

Atwater's campaign seems less than enthusiastic about the idea. Spokesman Brian Hughes would only say the candidates may "share a stage" at some point on the campaign trail, a far cry from a structured debate that Rankin proposed.

"Jeff Atwater is busy traveling the state to lay out a strong record of success as CFO," Hughes said. "With public events and forums yet to come, I imagine there would be an opportunity for Jeff and his challenger to share a stage if schedules allow."

Rankin is considered a long shot to unseat incumbent Atwater, who has raised $2.7 million as of Sept. 19. Rankin has less than $16,000 in cash in his account.

The Florida Democratic Party has also kept Rankin at arm's length, and he has not campaigned alongside other statewide candidates for office.
