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.

... Party leaders should take a hard look at this strong support for a populist candidate. The People will back a candidate with values like Elizabeth's.

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.

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.

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.

Pelosi is predicting a Dem majority in 2013.



I heard it myself from just a few feet away, and scored some good close-ups.

I think there Is decent chance if Obama Is reelected(as I think he will be) that Democrats will retake the House and Nancy will be
Speaker.It's the senate IS where I think the real question mark will be.

wonder a phenomenon in politics as in the music industry.Scotty's first ,last,and only hit was his swan song.Scotty gone in Mass and probably the Wisconsin Scotty as well. Not a good year for those boys but hopeful for the future of our democratic republic.

The thing I find most curious is the $40 to $50 million projected to be spent on a slam-dunk.
