Martha Coakley up by 15 points (says the Boston Globe)? Doesn't seem right to this Massachusetts resident. Also, the Boston Herald is supposedly going to release a poll showing Coakley only 1 point ahead. Here's more on the polls from Legal Insurrection blog [excerpt]:
Obama wins New Hampshire primary in a landslide!
That was the prediction of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center and most other pollsters prior to the primary. In fact, Hillary Clinton won the primary, causing much hand wringing. This shows us that we need to be cautious with polling data. It is just part of the picture.
The UNH poll released this morning by The Boston Globe, showing a safe 15% lead by Coakley among likely voters, does not ring true to me. UNH started polling on January 2 and finished January 6. Rasmussen, which polled during that same time period, showed Coakley up by 9% among likely voters but only 2% among definite voters. PPP polled more recently and showed Brown up by 1%. The Boston Herald is to release a poll which reportedly will show Coakley with a 1% lead among likely voters.
The UNH-Globe poll is an outlier, by far. The three other polls show this as a single digit race among likely voters, with Brown's voters far more highly motivated. [Added] Even the UNH-Globe polls shows that among the voters who are listed as "extremely interested in election" it is an even race, at 47% each.

Glad the Globe published such a poll. Think of all the Dems who will think going to vote isn’t as important, and will stay home instead, trying to figure out why all their utility bills, cc interest rates, and taxes are higher than usual.
Let the libs think they are winning in a landslide - in hopes that many will then just stay home

Only fooling....
Does anyone actually believe this crap? The Boston Globe Democrat has been carrying Coakley’s water since Kennedy stopped drinking in August.
This is all out of the democRATS game play book.

They are lying about the poll results so when they steal it the election will not be suspect.
THIS IS GREAT NEWS
THE LIBS WILL STAY HOME AND THE TEA PARTY WILL WIN.
Arrogant, complacent ‘rats read the fake news ultra-leftist Boston Globe.
Stay home!... Nothing going on!.. no reason to vote!...
Google’s not letting me go through to the blog even after saying, “I understand and I wish to continue”.
Not sure any of this matters. The results of the election recounts are already in, and Coakley’s certification already passed.
It’s all over but the voting.
We should have all known Boston Globe out of Boston...is a lying, cheatin’, skewed, poll...anyone who doesn’t realize this is in la la land.
