Editing to add that John Della Volpa, who's director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, tweeted about an interesting detail from the poll:

One of more interesting insights from the new #MAPoli poll is that among Dem primary voters in Massachusetts, nearly 2x as many prefer fixing Obamacare (57%), than scrapping it for Medicare for All (32%).

1. Well, Warren is from MA.

3. That's why the poll is so incredible for Joe.

It's her home state and she's wildly popular there...and he's still beating her there. At worst for him, he's basically drawing even, and that's in her home state. It's extremely impressive.

10. Elizabeth Warren isn't that popular in MA.

2018 was a wave year for Democrats. The average Democratic candidate did better than Hillary Clinton did in that place in 2016. Warren did the same in 2018 running for Senate re-election as Hillary Clinton did in MA in the general election for president in 2016.

11. Why isn't Warren popular in Mass?

12. Mass has always been tougher on female candidates .

14. I had a cab driver in Dublin

Tell me that last election middle age men told him it wasn’t Hillary they just didn’t want a woman president.

Could it have anything to do with MA and their religion?

I don’t know anything about how the men in that state view women in leadership roles.

17. They know her best?

13. It was a wave in other states but in MA Charlie Baker was winning his reelection with 66.6 percent

while she won reelection with 60. That is actually quite impressive.

[Green Line]

15. No it isn't

Her Republican rival was a ridiculous, unknown candidate. She really isn't that popular here.

2. KR!!!

Thank You, highplains!

4. Buttigieg gets a boost

I realize it's much too early to read the tea leaves, but I like way things are shaping up so far.

[WA-03 Democrat]

5. Go Joe Go!!

We are very lucky to have such excellent candidates.

Get
Out
The
Vote!

6. I can see cabinet positions

for many of the candidates. If they choose to accept.

They are doing good for their party and themselves.

7. Blue Collar Appeal

Joe probably doing well with blue collar voters in Mass. If Warren wins NH she should win Mass even if she loses SC. Super Tuesday map looks favorable for Biden and one of the few pickups on super Tuesday could be Mass.

8. Basically this would mean that Biden and Warren would split the delegates....

...almost 50/50, everyone else would get shut out.

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. I think Warren will most likely win MA, but it won't be a blowout, and that's good news for Joe. nt

[Green Line]

16. I think Joe will win MA

Might be close, but from all the people I talk to here, he's the choice.

[Tarheel_Dem]

19. Fingers crossed. n/t

[Demsrule86]

18. not being snarky but if she can't win Mass convincingly...she will not be the nominee.
