Poll Shocker: Scott Brown Surges Ahead in Senate Race

Could we witnessing a miracle in Massachusetts?  Really think about how important this election in MA is.  If Scott Brown is elected he could be that vote that stops Obamacare from passing through the Senate.  Furthermore, any Republican, regardless of his qualifications, would send a shock-wave through the rest of the nation that The People are not happy with the Job the Democrats are doing.

Why else would Obama, Biden and Clinton be campaigning for Martha Coakley?  Desperate times require desperate measures for the Democrats.  They know that if Scott Brown wins in MA it will not look good for them at all.  This will be the straw that breaks the camels back will proves his demise.

Here is a new article out today showing Scott Brown surging ahead of Martha Coakley.

Scott Brown ahead in polls

The poll, conducted Monday through Wednesday, surveyed 500 registered likely voters who knew the date of Tuesday’s election. It shows Brown leading all regions of the state except Suffolk County.

“Either Brown’s momentum accelerates and his lead widens, or this becomes a wake-up call for Coakley to become the ‘Comeback Kid’ this weekend,” Paleologos said.

And with 99 percent having made up their minds, voters may be hard to persuade.

The poll surveyed a carefully partitioned electorate meant to match voter turnout: 39 percent Democrat, 15 percent Republican and 45 percent unenrolled.

Brown wins among men and is remarkably competitive among women – trailing Coakley’s 50 percent with 45 percent.

While Brown has 91 percent of registered Republicans locked up, an astonishing 17 percent of Democrats report they’re jumping ship for Brown as well – likely a product of Coakley’s laser-focus on hard-core Dems, potentially at the exclusion of other Democrats whom she needed to win over, Paleologos said.

For Coakley, Brown’s surge may be as ominous as the fact that her campaign’s peril is not fully recognized, with 64 percent of voters still believing she’ll win – a perception that threatens to keep her supporters home.

Brown’s popularity is solid. He enjoys a 57 percent favorability rating compared to just 19 percent unfavorable. Coakley’s favorability is 49 percent; her unfavorability, 41 percent.

No longer does Brown suffer from a name-recognition problem, with 95 percent of voters having heard of him statewide.
