A new Boston Globe poll shows the race between Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren in a dead heat, with ample opportunity for both candidates to win the nation’s most expensive Senate race eight days from now.

The survey indicates Brown holds a razor-thin 45 percent to 43 percent lead over Warren among likely voters, well within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points. Brown’s lead evaporates, with 47 percent for each candidate, when voters who are undecided are asked which candidate they are leaning toward.

The poll is a reversal from a September Globe survey that showed Warren ahead 43 percent to 38 percent, as well as several other recent polls that have found Warren with a slight lead. The shift underscores the belief long held by both sides that the race, active for more than a year, would be competitive until the end.

Watch for a banking scandal so bad it would make you want to hurl breaking over the next few days (held back for just such an occasion)

Did the poll question residents of the Granary cemetary across the street from Mayor Menino’s Boston City Hall? Lots of true patriots buried there like Paul Revere, but suspect they’ve been voting D since the Kennedy’s took over in the early 1900s. So don’t want to overlook those votes.
