Poll: Warren Up By 9 In Massachusetts Senate Race

[trailmonkee]

Source: tpm

Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren has built a 9-point lead over Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) in the closely watched Massachusetts Senate race, a poll released Wednesday shows.

The latest survey from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows Warren leading Brown among likely Bay State voters 53 percent to 44 percent. That's Warren's largest lead in PPP's polling and also an 3-point bounce from a week ago. Last week, PPP showed the Harvard law professor holding a 6-point lead over Brown.

Equally disconcerting for the Republican incumbent is his declining approval rating. Massachusetts voters are split when it comes to Brown's job performance in Wednesday's poll, with 46 percent approving and 45 percent disapproving. In last week's poll, 49 percent approved of Brown's job performance, while 42 percent disapproved. PPP's latest survey was conducted on behalf of the League of Conservation Voters, a group that has endorsed Warren.

4. ................OFF TOPIC..................

I am new to this site.
I do not know how to start, or post a new thread.

Someone please start one for me.

On 'Democracy Now' today, Greg Palast explained how Romney made between $15 and $115 million dollars off the bankruptcy of Delphi auto parts.

The tactic used has been outlawed in many countries, but not the U.S.

President Obama and Hilary Clinton tried to get it outlawed.

28 of the 27 plants in the U.S. were closed.

28,000 U.S. citizens lost their jobs and pensions or reduced pensions because of this vulture capitalist and his cronies.

Their jobs went to CHINA.

They moved the corporate office to Jersey Island, also known as the Channel Islands.

They are tax havens.

Greg Palast thinks this is why Romney will not release his tax returns.

5. Excellent. My sense is that the President is also doing much better than these national polls are

reflecting. Especially since it is becoming clear that the republican party is really against women's rights, and that is becoming clearer every day.

6. I can't believe it is even that close.

After listening to what she has to say and how she says it, she could be a member of the Donner Party and I would still vote for her.
