Most Bay Staters have never heard of the three Democratic hopefuls for lieutenant governor, alongside other down-ticket candidates for state auditor and attorney general, a new University of Massachusetts Lowell poll finds.Some 55% of Massachusetts registered voters haven't heard of Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll, who earlier this month clinched her party's endorsement at the state Democratic convention in Worcester. That scant name recognition is based on more than 1,100 registered voters queried from June 7-15, according to the poll released Wednesday from UMass Lowell's Center for Public Opinion.
