A new poll from Suffolk University of the likely Massachusetts Senate shows incumdent Senator Scott Brown (R) with a nine point lead over probable Democratic nominee Elizabeth Warren, 49 – 40. Other polls have show Warren with a small lead as the race seems to be seesawing back and forth ten months before election day. The contest will be one of the most watched Senate races of 2012.
“Scott Brown’s popularity and appeal are overpowering the efforts of Elizabeth Warren, who struggles to introduce herself to the larger pool of Massachusetts voters,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in a release. “Warren’s support does not have traction among independents.”
The TPM Poll Average shows a very tight race so far.
