WNE Poll: Elizabeth Warren holds 5-point edge over Sen. Scott Brown in Massachusetts Senate race

SPRINGFIELD - A new poll shows that while Democrat Elizabeth Warren has maintained a steady margin of support over Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown in the Massachusetts Senate race, the number of people who see her in an unfavorable light is on the rise.

The latest survey conducted by the Western New England University Polling Institute through a partnership with The Republican/MassLive.com, concluded that Warren is leading Brown, 50 percent to 45 percent, with the junior senator jumping one percentage point compared to the Sept. 6-13 poll.

In terms of overall favorability, both candidates saw their positive ratings drop slightly and their negative ratings climb. Warren's favorable/unfavorable rating is now 50 percent to 41 percent among likely voters, compared to 53 percent to 33 percent just three weeks ago.

Brown's favorable/unfavorable rating is currently 52 percent to 36 percent, compared to 54 percent to 32 percent in the previous Western New England University poll.

(Looks like Brown-Rove have been successful in driving Warren's unfavorable number up, but at least it has dropped Brown's favorability slightly. I think it's time for Warren to expose the full truth about Brown in the 3rd debate this week).

Since Brown keeps saying "I'm an Independent! "I'm an Independent! "I'm an Independent!", it's time to point out:

1. Romney admitted in the debate this week that Brown's purpose in getting elected as a Senator was to block Obama

2. Independents (eg. Sen. Sanders of Vermont) have an "I" after their names, not an "R"

3. Brown is a member of the Republican Caucus

4. Brown lied when he said he votes 50-50 (an analysis shows it's more like 70-30)

5. Voted against Wall Street Reform

6. Is being funded by Karl Rove (how many 'Independents' does he support/)

7. Was caught on hidden video asking the Koch Brothers for money
