Elizabeth Warren Leading Scott Brown By Biggest Margin Yet: Poll (+7)
WASHINGTON -- A wave of early television advertising appears to be working to the advantage of consumer finance watchdog Elizabeth Warren as a new poll shows her surging to her biggest advantage yet over Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.).
The survey conducted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell and The Boston Herald finds Warren leading Brown by a 49 to 42 percent margin. Warren's showing represents a significant improvement over a previous UMass Lowell/Herald poll conducted in late September that had Brown with a nominal 41 to 38 percent lead.
The poll surveyed 500 registered voters in Massachusetts during the first week in December and reports a margin of error of plus or minus 5.3 percentage points. The telephone survey used live interviewers and contacted Massachusetts voters on both landline and mobile phones.
Both the Warren campaign and Republican groups, particularly Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS, have been running paid television advertising over the last month in Massachusetts.

(398 posts)We need voters with enough intelligence to see the benefits of a good candidate like Warren. Great candidates don't do squat if the voters are too stupid to realize their benefits.

(166 posts)I so want her to kick Scott Brown in the ass on his way out the door! She's probably too polite for that though.

(26,624 posts)That number includes voters who say they are "leaning" for either candidate. But even without the "leaners," Warren still leads by a 46-41 percent margin, barely within the margin of error.
