Poll: Brown Surges To Lead In Senate Race
Scott Brown Leads Martha Coakley By 4 Percent In New Senate Poll

POSTED: 10:22 pm EST January 14, 2010

BOSTON -- Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown has surged ahead of his Democratic opponent Martha Coakley, according to a new poll released Thursday night.

Brown leads Coakley by a margin of 50 percent to 46 percent, the Suffolk University/WHDH-TV poll found. It is the first poll to show Brown, who had been thought a long-shot underdog, leading the race.

It raises the possibility of an historic political upset in Massachusetts.

“It’s a massive change in the political landscape,” David Paleologos, director of Suffolk’s Political Research Center, told The Boston Herald.

Paleologos told the newspaper that the poll shows high numbers of independent voters turning out on election day, which benefits Brown, who has 65 percent of independents compared to Coakley’s 30 percent.

The poll has a 4.4 point margin of error, which means Coakley could win the race, Paleologos said.

1. Brown is a bigot, firstly, as he told a former (Lesbian) challenger that her wanting children is

"not normal".

And, what can really sway votes - he refused to answer whether or not he was for or against Obama's plan to charge corporations for the bailouts, to make sure Americans don't lose money from them. His campaign then announced later that he is AGAINST the proposed levy against the firms!!!!


I'd tell that to every person I met!

2. Suffolk University? I don't think I remember them ever releasing a poll.

I thought all their money went to paying the school's president For those unaware, he is the highest paid president of any college nationwide. That's right. Suffolk University!

5. Hi, DSB. Yes it is. It's freaking me the hell out.

I think he's going to win. And the kind of damage that will do is huge.

6. It Will Be Beyond Embarrassing

I think the last R to win a Senate seat in Massachusetts was Edward Brooke in the 70s.
