Massachusetts: Obama +16 in latest poll from Kimball; Warren & Brown Tied

9/10/2012

Obama - 56%

Romney - 40%

756 LV

http://www.kimballpoliticalconsulting.com/KPC_MA_9_10_Analysis.pdf

Details:

o If the election were held today, President Obama would lead by 16 points over Mitt Romney, capturing 56% of the vote (4% undecided).

o This is a 5 point increase from the 8/21/2012 poll.

o The President’s overall favorability increased 3 points to 56% but among independents this drops to 45%. His unfavorable rating is down to 40%.

o Romney continues to have a higher unfavorable (55%) to favorable (40%) rating yet continues to lead amongst independent voters (47% to 44%)

Elizabeth Warren is in a virtual dead heat with Senator Brown with less than 1 point separating the two candidates (46% to 45%).

o This is a 5 point gain for Warren since the last poll on 8/21/2012

 Perhaps the most interesting result is the favorability of both Senator Brown and Elizabeth Warren. With both Campaigns supporting no outside money on advertising, both candidates hold over a 50% favorable impression in the state (54% for Brown and 55% for Warren).

I'm told Kimball may have a GOP bias in its polling. Can anyone confirm that?

If so, perhaps Warren is actually in the lead right now.
