Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley 51-46 in our final Massachusetts
Senate poll, an advantage that is within the margin of error for the
poll.
Over
the last week Brown has continued his dominance with independents and
increased his ability to win over Obama voters as Coakley's
favorability numbers have declined into negative territory. At the same
time Democratic leaning voters have started to take more interest in
the election, a trend that if it continues in the final 36 hours of the
campaign could put her over the finish line.
Brown supporters focused most on pocketbook issues, Coakley supporters on healthcare reform, undecided voters split
A poll conducted by the Merriman River Group (MRG)
and InsideMedford.com indicates that Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley
50.8% – 41.2% in the contest to fill the seat of the late Senator Ted
Kennedy. Liberty Party candidate Joe Kennedy pulls in just 1.8%
support, while 6.2% of voters are still not sure. Brown and Coakley
both have most of their supporters locked in. 98% of both candidate’s
supporters say they are definitely or probably going to vote for their
candidate. In contrast, 22% of Kennedy’s supporters are just leaning
toward him, suggesting that Brown and Coakley may both want to take aim
at swaying those voters.
