Research 2000 Poll: Coakley And Brown Tied 48%-48% (Brown Was Behind 8)
Talking Points Memo ^ | January 18, 2010 | Eric Kleefeld

Posted on 01/18/2010 10:03:09 AM PST by icwhatudo

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."

I had the very unexpected pleasure of meeting Governor Ehrlich today at a local restaurant. He was there with two of his associates and said that they were doing studies into running again.

What was particularly interesting is the information he gave on the Mass. internals. Brown is going to win absolutely and it's only a question of by how much. There aren't even enough dead people or unions thugs to sway the result.

The rats know this of course because they have their own internals saying the same thing and they are in FULL PANIC and SUPER SPIN mode.

Tuesday is going to be lovely. See if you can start picking out signs between now and then of SPIN and SPUDDER!

This poll is crap. Kos is trying to rally the Democratic troops. The antidote to the Kos bs is to get out the Brown vote. Make it so.

Note, it looks snowy tomorrow.

One pollster said that may be good for Coakley since the worst of it may be in GOP areas.

BUT, a study from 2007 says that bad weather helps the GOP.

That said, any impact is not clear at this point because MA is mostly independent, and they are most likely not to vote.

So, who knows.

Barney Frank himself answered the phone? That’s a first for a politician.

The guy who normally answers the phone probably had his mouth full.

I apologize. I think I caught just a graphic that was regarding the Independent vote for Brown. I found a segment on YouTube from FoxBusiness where Jim Angle was talking with Scott Rasmussen and he commented that there wasn’t an updated poll from MA. At the end of the segment Scott said that FoxBusiness was totally underestimating the consequences of a Brown win in MA. He said it would be devastating for the 2010 elections.

Next time I’ll get all the facts. I know better.

John Kerry today:

Brown rallies “reminiscent of the dangerous atmosphere of Palin’s 2008 rallies”

Also tweeted moments ago by reporter:

Nearly as many people holding brown signs as coakley signs outside coakley rally.

Some context for this 48-48 KOS poll:
http://www.freerepublic.com/%5Ehttp://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31621.html

“A DailyKos/Research 2000 poll released Monday painted a much tighter campaign, showing the race knotted at 48 percent each.

“We’re about to learn whether Obama can deliver electoral votes,” wrote DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas on his Twitter page.

But that three-day survey was conducted between Friday and Sunday, whereas the entire InsiderAdvantage phone survey of 804 likely registered voters was completed Sunday night.”

Did you understand a word he said? Did some of his spit fly through your phone?
