4th poll gives Warren the lead: WBUR poll (Warren +5)

September 19, 2012

A WBUR poll of 507 likely Massachusetts voters (PDFs — topline, crosstabs) finds Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren leading Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, 45 percent to 40 percent. The survey has a 4.4 percent margin of error. ...

The poll finds an increasing number of likely voters — 39 percent — believe Warren “will stand up for regular people when in the Senate,” compared to just 30 percent when we polled back in February. Twenty-nine percent said the same thing of Brown, compared to 33 percent in February.

Warren is seen as the candidate who best “understands the needs of middle-class families.” Thirty-five percent of likely voters see her that way; 27 percent say the phrase best describes Brown. If the battle between Warren and Brown is one of issues rather than personality, Warren has the edge.
