Brown is up 48.3 percent to Shaheen’s 46.8 percent in the poll of 1,132 likely voters statewide. The poll was conducted on Oct. 24, and has a margin of error of 2.91 percent.
Dr. Wayne Lesperance, New England College's director of the Center for Civic Engagement, attributed Brown’s success to narrowing Shaheen’s lead among women voters.
“A 1.5 percent margin is incredibly narrow and makes this race a statistical dead heat. Brown’s recent success comes from narrowing the lead Shaheen had with women to just under 5 percent,” Lesperance said.
Shaheen has attempted to reignite the “war on women” rhetoric that helped propel President Barack Obama to a second term over Republican Mitt Romney on the campaign trail.
This weekend, with Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Liz Warren (D-MA) at her side, Shaheen and Warren both pushed the “equal pay for equal work” Democratic Party talking points bill. The bill hasn't gained much traction on the campaign trail -- federal law already makes it illegal to pay women less than men, or engage in gender discrimination in the workplace.
In fact, CNN noted that the war on women attacks are less potent in 2014 and Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus said in an interview with Breitbart News on Monday evening that Democrats like Shaheen look like “fools" pushing it.

One week to go.
This really isn’t good news. Brown is a MA RINO. He’ll be disappointing to say the least.
Go, Scott! He isn’t all bad, just mostly.
Need proof? Just ask any number of "true believers" here on FR.
At the end of the day I can’t see New Hampshire electing a Masshole to the Senate. Some things just overcome politics.
We’ll put you as a NO.
Agreed. I can't stand him. No integrity. Yet, he'll be 1000% better than Shaheen has been.
IF he wins, NH will find out fast why MA didn't vote for him the second time around.
So it will be better if Shaheen wins?
Brown will also vote to support the right judges provided we win the White House in '16. Controlling the courts matters.
LOL
I'm guessing you don't know Queen Jeanne. Votes with Obama 99%.
That's correct.Although he's *far* from perfect he is 1) light years better than ObolaCare's 60th vote,Shaheen and 2) He's the best one can reasonably expect from a New England state.New England will never again (at least in *my* lifetime) elect anyone even close to a Sarah Palin or Ted Cruz.That's how far down the toilet we've gone here.If Scott Brown was even slightly more "conservative" than he is he wouldn't be within 20 points of Shaheen now.New Englanders know that."Outsiders" don't.
if it stays close fraud will be in the lead at the end of the night!
Mike
If Scott loses in NH he can always try another state.
Sadly, he’s about the best we can do in New Hampshire these days...
If he wins, the GOP will be having a classic night.
If Brown wins, he may disappoint. He is a NE Republican, and although he will be squishy, he is far better than that shrill leftist rubber stamp Shaheen.
