Warren and Brown Virtually Tied Heading into Election Day

According to the latest poll by UMass Lowell, Brown had a one point lead heading into election day, but the lead was within the poll's margin of error.

Just a day before election day, a new poll released shows that Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown are virtually tied in the US Senate race among likely voters in Massachusetts. Brown is ahead of Warren by 1 percentage point, 49-48, the poll showed. The one-point advantage is within the poll's 4.1 margin of error.  The latest poll was conducted by UMass Lowell's Center for Public Opinion and the Boston Herald. Nearly one thousand Massachusetts voters were surveyed between Wednesday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 3.  The poll found that Brown is viewed favorably by 54 percent of the 956 voters surveyed, with 39 percent holding a negative opinion of him, according to the Herald.

Warren Up in Polls, Herald Endorses Brown: Who's Winning?

With Warren holding a small lead in the polls, and Brown getting a key endorsement from the Boston Herald, who do you think has the momentum coming into the final days of the election?

Democrat Elizabeth Warren is up by five points over incumbent Republican Scott Brown in the latest WBUR/MassINC poll of the Massachusetts senate race. That's a near-total reversal of the BUR poll last month, which had Brown up by four on Oct. 9.  In fact, Warren has been trending upwards in most recent polling. The New York Times' FiveThirtyEight blog has Warren up by four in an average of recent polls. The blog, which uses advanced statistical modeling akin to baseball sabermetrics (think Moneyball) gives Warren an 89 percent chance of winning the election. But Brown's got some significant energy on his side as well. He's been barnstorming the state with political luminaries like Senator John McCain and today won the Boston herald's …

And we will be back where we were a few years ago with two Democratic Senators voting straight down their party line. Scott Brown has worked with both sides of the aise and has done an excellent job for the citizen's of MA. While Ms. Warren may be hard worker, she will not be respresenting all of MA citizens.   more ›

Rasmussen Poll Shows Warren/Brown Race Within the Margin of Error

A new poll from Rasmussen Reports taken on October 10 shows Elizabeth Warren with a slim lead over Senator Scott Brown.

A new Rasmussen Reports poll of 500 likely voters shows Elizabeth Warren with a narrow lead over Senator Scott Brown. When those polled were asked "If the 2012 Election for the U.S. Senate were held today, would you vote for Republican Scott Brown or Democrat Elizabeth Warren?" 49 percent chose Warren while 47 percent chose Brown. An additional four percent were undecided.  The margin of error is +/- 4.5 percent and the poll has a 95 percent level of confidence. The result is a slight improvement for Warren who was tied with Brown at 48 percent in last month's poll from Rasmussen Reports.

Isn't this the polling company that had Martha Coakly up by double digits just before Brown won? Not worried. Just stand on a corner with a Brown sign and see the Warren supporters on the other corner and count the waves,beeps, thumbs up and enthusiasm. It is not remotely close...It's Brown overwhelmingly. Brown, just like Romney has the momentum and enthusiasm on his side.   more ›

2 New Polls Show Mixed Results in Warren/Brown Race

A new WBUR/MassINC polls shows Senator Scott Brown a 48 percent to 45 percent lead over Elizabeth Warren but a UMass-Amherst polls gives Warren a 48 percent to 46 percent lead.

Two new polls released yesterday show a race that has yet to have a definite leader in the fight to represent Massachusetts in the Senate. While a new poll from WBUR and MassINC of 501 likely voters conducted between Oct. 5-7 shows Senator Scott Brown leading Elizabeth Warren 48 percent to 45 percent, a new UMass-Amherst/YouGov America poll of 500 registered voters taken between Oct. 2-8 gives Warren a 48 percent to 46 percent lead. The margin of error is +/- 4.4 percent in the WBUR poll and +/- 5 percent in the UMass poll. The new WBUR poll shows a seven point swing since the last WBUR/MassINC poll. In the previous poll taken between September 26-28, Warren led 49 percent to 45 percent. Based on the WBUR poll, Senator Brown continues to …

TELL US: Who Won the Senate Debate?

Share your thoughts on Monday's debate.

Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren faced off in their second debate Monday night at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell. Brown touted his bipartisan record and attacked Warren on claims of Native American ancestry and legal work for corporations, painting her as an out-of-touch opportunist. Warren cited her advocacy for the working class and attacked Brown for his votes against jobs bills, casting him as a politician for the wealthy and corporate interests. The Boston Herald has the complete video of the debate. Both candidates got their share of applause from the audience. But we want to know what you think.  Who would you say won? Did either candidate sway you in either direction? Were your questions answered? Discuss in…

US Senate Debate: Candidates Wrangle over Character, Partisanship

Sen. Scott Brown and challenger Elizabeth Warren faced off in Lowell for round two of their debates.

  With polls showing a neck-and-neck race for Massachusetts' U.S. Senate seat, Republican Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren came with claws sharpened to their second debate Monday night at Lowell's Tsongas Arena. The debate, moderated by NBC's David Gregory, lasted about an hour. Even with its scattered punches and zings, the debate may not be a game changer. It was generally predictable and lacking much about specific national issues, and Gregory spent most of the time asking about character attacks. Gregory started the debate with the glaring question about Warren's heritage. Warren claims to have Native American ancestry, but proof of that ancestry has not been presented. This has created a firestorm for the …

Brown Should Focus on Economy To Beat Warren, Local Republicans Say

After three polls released last week showed Elizabeth Warren ahead of Scott Brown, while another showed Brown ahead of Warren, Patch surveyed influential Massachusetts Republicans to get their take on the tight race.

Republican Sen. Scott Brown should focus on the economy during the final stretch of his campaign to fend off Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren's rise in the polls: that's the main finding of this week's Red Commonwealth survey of influential Massachusetts Republicans. Three polls by three separate polling organizations showing Warren ahead of Brown—but barely—were released early last week.   Further illustrating how tight the race has become, hours after Patch sent the survey out to Massachusetts Republicans, another poll by UMass Lowell and the Boston Herald showed Brown ahead of Warren by 6 points, with a 5.5 percent margin of error, after an UMass Lowell/Herald poll nine months ago had Warren leading by 7. A majority of influential…

Warren Should Focus on Brown as a Republican To Win, Local Democrats Say

After three polls released last week showed Elizabeth Warren ahead of Scott Brown, while another showed Brown ahead of Warren, Patch surveyed influential Massachusetts Democrats to get their take on the tight race.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren should focus on Sen. Scott Brown's Republican affiliation and continue to tie him to the national GOP during the final stretch of his campaign: that's the main finding of this week's Blue Commonwealth survey of influential Massachusetts Democrats. Three polls by three separate polling organizations showing Warren ahead of Brown—but barely—were released early last week.  Further illustrating how tight the race has become, hours after Patch sent the survey out to Massachusetts Republicans, another poll by UMass Lowell and the Boston Herald showed Brown ahead of Warren by 6 points, with a 5.5 percent margin of error, after an UMass Lowell/Herald poll nine months ago had Warren leading by 7. …
