More voters have a positive opinion of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) than of President Barack Obama in Warren’s home state of Massachusetts, according to a poll by Suffolk University and the Boston Herald.
The poll, released Monday, found that about 57.75 percent of likely Massachusetts voters have a favorable view of Warren while just 29 percent have an unfavorable opinion of her.
Meanwhile, 51.88 percent said they have a favorable opinion of Obama while 41.88 said they have an unfavorable view of the president.
Voters are also split on the job Obama is doing as president. According to the poll, 44.88 percent said they approve of the job Obama is doing while 44.25 said they disapprove of the job Obama is doing. A plurality of voters said they had approve of Obamacare. Forty-nine percent of those surveyed said the the law is good for Massachusetts while 39.88 percent said the law is generally bad.
The poll was conducted among 800 likely voters between June 4 and June 7. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Only 57.75% have a favorable view of Warren?? I call poor methodology measures!!!
And so what? I imagine most Senators are more popular in their home states than the President is. After all, Presidents have to make much, much tougher calls all the time.
As a Bay State resident I can tell you that Obama is for the most part quite well thought of in this state, as is Warren.
I guess this means President Obama’s plan to retake his Senate seat after he leaves the White House is…wait a minute… he was Senator from Illinois not Massachusetts…I’m confused.
So 57% have a favorable opinion of Warren in her home state
and
51% for Obama.
Wow. That’s so…groundbreaking.
Must include Republicans in the sampling. But hey. Nothing against their awesome Senator, but one state does not a national candidate make. Obama’s name recognition and track records over the last decade make him a bigger target.
