Elizabeth Warren’s lead over Scott Brown narrows to 2 points in WBUR poll
Boston Globe ^ | October 1, 2012 | Noah Bierman

Posted on 10/01/2012 2:19:13 PM PDT by Zakeet

As Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren prepare for their second debate tonight, a new poll shows Warren leading Brown by 2 percentage points — 46 percent to 44 percent, with 9 percent undecided in the hotly contested race.

The WBUR/Mass Inc. poll of 504 likely voters taken Sept. 26- Sept. 28 is the seventh of nine surveys taken in September to show Warren, a Democrat and Harvard Law School professor, with a small lead over Brown, a Republican. But the results are well within the poll’s margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.4 percent.

The same polling group had Warren up by 5 percentage points in a poll taken two weeks earlier, from Sept. 15 through Sept. 17.

Warren’s lead goes up to 4 points in the newest poll from WBUR if the responses of so-called “leaners” are included. These are voters who initially say they are undecided, but express a preference when asked which way they are currently leaning.

The Globe released its own poll Sunday, which showed Warren leading 43-38, with 19 percent of those surveyed saying they remain undecided.

If WBUR says Brown is down by two that means he’s up by four.

I really, really, really hope this Communist witch goes down. She is EVERYTHING that is wrong with the Democrat Party today — a bunch of lying elitists who got where they are through checking the box and still pretend they are for the little people. Their policies have no connection to reality and will result in the average America being much, much poorer. Yet she sits at Harvard and it doesn’t impact her. I don’t care what you think about Brown, if this shrew gets into Congress, she will be sponsoring bills that completely destroy what remains of free enterprise.

Only an obvious liar who is a Dem could get away with “being in the lead” in the polls, and no one raises an eyebrow to ask how it could be possible (except us FReepers!).

If the race is that close this Warren gal is going to have to kill some young woman to keep a hold on the Kennedy bloc vote.

Get your loved ones out of Massachusetts now.

Massachusetts is the east coast anchor point for California.

How in the name of Manitou can this blithering redskin be ahead of Brown in any poll taken in the United States?

I reckon Civil War II is closer than I thought ... or Helter Skelter ... or something equally unpleasant in the SHTF line.

Hopefully the state would slide east into the Atlantic rather than crop dusting the whole US as its dragged across.

Yes, the rest of FReeperdom does not understand the Massachusetts voter, but I lived in Newton for 22 years and worked in Dorchester and Boston.

Fauxcahontas is Martha Coakley v. 2.0, and she hasn’t got a chance.

You all don’t get Massachusetts.

Ronald Reagan won the state twice, big, and Scott Brown understands the magic formula.

He could be beat in 2018 by Joe Kennedy III, but that’s about it.

Scotty is proud of being a guy, which pulls in all the blue collar Democrats, and he makes the pro-abortion unenrolled women wet, and that’s all he needs to do.

Nominating another version of Martha Coakley, with the extra added feature that she’s not from Massachusetts? Very.bad.plan.

Good point....Warren is such a turn off to the vast majority hard working moderate Independents in this state.

So you’re thinking St. Elizabeth of Oklahoma City may not be the Bay State heartthrob the MSM projects her as, LOL.
