The new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of the Massachusetts special Senate election has the race as a tie between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown -- the best independent poll result that Coakley has had in the last few days.
A Research 2000 poll from last week, which was commissioned by the local liberal blog Blue Mass Group, had Coakley with a stronger lead of 49%-41%.
Daily Kos's Laura Clawson writes: "As we keep saying, this one comes down to GOTV."
WOW “Daily Kos/Research 2000” cannot even pull it out for Coakley.
I just called Barney Frank’s Newton, MA office to remind him that his seat is vulnerable and WHO do you think answered the phone?
That’s right.
I invite you to call HIM now.

On Oct. 28, 2009, Research 2000 had Christie up 1% over Corzine (42%-41%). Christie won by 4.
So they weren’t totally off the mark in that race.
The internals of that poll show independent voters planning on voter for Brown by a 2-1 margin.

I’ve been making calls for Brown since Monday. My tally has Brown far ahead of Coakley.
She must be really hurting if they have them even.
Rasmussen will be interesting when it comes out.
HEADS UP, FREEPERS!! I have found many of the banner ad links to the Scott Brown for US Senate website may have been sabotaged. When you click on one of the “infected” links you are directed to https (not http) www.brownforussenate.com which results in a security certificate error and failure to connect.
ALL of these links were correct and functioning yesterday.
Sabotage?
BTTT - someone needs to investigate the “infected” links, please!
Call Bawney?What for?
He gives me the creeps. I wouldn’t eat a hamburger made by the man, why should I talk to him?
Bawney is history.And he will be lucky to retire early. Heads will roll over Freddie and Fannie Fraud.
If we, Free Republic, commissioned a poll, I wouldn't buy it.
Same goes with Daily Kom's.
The sample doesn’t look representative to me:
Demographics
MEN 242 48%
WOMEN 258 52%
DEMOCRATS 195 39%
REPUBLICANS 97 19%
INDEPENDENTS/OTHER 208 42%
WHITE 451 90%
BLACK 19 4%
HISPANIC 16 3%
OTHER 14 3%
18-29 70 14%
30-44 130 26%
45-59 221 44%
60+ 79 16%
BOSTON 274 55%
SOUTHEAST 111 22%
WEST/CENTRAL 115 23%
I think likeliness of voting will swing harder toward our demographics.
Daily KOS/R2K has Obama at 84% Favorability in the Northeast..
Take this poll with a 50lb bag of salt.

Good to see the Brown Campaign peaking at the right moment.
I wish I had your confidence. They seem to be playing the "fat cat bankers" card over and over again and there are so many who just fall into line with the usual class envy nonsense.
“Daily Kos added a favorability question, and there Coakley has a slight edge over Brown, with 58% favorable-31% unfavorable to his 51%-30%.”
Nope, don’t buy it.
