PPP: Warren +2 in MASSACHUSETTS (48 - 46)

[TroyD]

We find Elizabeth Warren leading Scott Brown 48-46 in MA-Sen. Last month she was down 49-44. D+21 sample, 2008 was D+26.

We will have the full Massachusetts Senate poll up a little after 10

1. Remember: It was Brown +5

The trend is what matters.

2. True

I was hoping for another +6 Warren poll like in the Western NE University poll earlier today, but a +7 swing in PPP is still good news!

3. Good news. Thanks

4. Additional good news is overwhelmingly undecideds are Obama voters...

per PPP on twitter:

PublicPolicyPolling ?@ppppolls
There were 56 undecideds on our Massachusetts Senate poll. 43 of them are Obama voters and 1- yes 1- is a Romney voter

5. Brown's going down for defeat

No surprise.

[TroyD]

6. Hopefully!

But let's not get overconfident.

Some of this could be a Convention bounce that could narrow again over the next month.

Elizabeth will still want to perform well against Brown in the debates and maybe have Obama and/or Bill Clinton take a swing by MA during the remainder of the campaign.

Rove, Wall Street & the GOP really want to keep Brown's seat. I wouldn't be surprised if they try something else now that Elizabeth is inching ahead. Reports say this is THE most expensive Senate race in the whole country. There's a reason for that. Wall Street wants to keep their boy in the Senate.

9. scot brown is a dirt bag!

10. Is that a hidden camera of Brown meeting with Koch?

Perhaps it would be good to send it around?

11. RCP updated Warren-Brown average gives her (+2) lead

Hopefully it will continue to rise.

They've still got an old Boston Globe poll in there from back in May showing a Brown lead. Hopefully that one will disappear soon too.

13. THIS race has been the one that has had me stumped until now

It should be at least a dead heat, I just have been flumoxed how Brown had a good margin to this point.

We MIGHT be seeing this election shifting in a pretty clear overall manner in a blue direction.

[TroyD]

15. He has very good approval numbers

That's one reason why. He's well over 50% approval in the polls.

I don't understand why, but that's because I don't like him. Apparently in MA he has been good at pretending to be a moderate & independent up until now.

[Cosmocat]

16. I do get his appeal

I do see why they like him - he has the looks, and comes across as moderate. I get that.

However, I think Warren has A LOT of populist appeal, and Mass is normally such a strong D state.

I guess that she was not stronger has been my surprise.

But, I guess, as a first time candidate, she has to build it up.

[TroyD]

17. She IS strong

The fact that she is competitive with (and hopefully now moving ahead of) an incumbent Senator with +50% approval ratings is a big accomplishment.

Many people might not be able to do that. Plus he is being given millions of dollars by Rove & Wall Street.

14. Good fucking god, YES.

I really want this state to come to its senses.

18. Happy Days Are Here Again!!!!

Such good news! She is wonderful and it would be so nice to watch her. She showed at the D.N.C. what a remarkable leader she can be.
