Turnout matters of course, but given that Markey's campaign has a pulse, compared to Coakley's the improved margins are reflective of a win. She only lost by 5 points in 2010.

selected areas with 100% reporting:

Place (Dem 2010 margin/Dem 2013 margin)
Salisbury -29/-12
Waltham -1/+20
Springfield +24/+37
Worcester +5/+26
Boxford -39/-32
Haverhill -21/-11
Fall River +16/+29
Plymouth -33/-14
Southampton -19/-14
