Latest Elizabeth Warren-Scott Brown poll - Hopefully, a bunch of BS.

[marmar]

from the Boston Globe:



Republican US Senator Scott Brown now has a 9-point lead over Elizabeth Warren, his likely Democratic opponent in the November election, a new poll has found.

The Suffolk University/7News poll, which was released late Thursday night, asked 600 likely voters across Massachusetts which candidate they would support in a head-to-head matchup, if the election was held today. The poll has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 4 percentage points.

Forty-nine percent of respondents said they would vote for Brown while 40 percent said they would back Warren, according to the poll.

Separately, 45 percent of respondents said that Brown deserved to be reelected, 39 percent said he did not, and 16 percent were undecided. ................(more)

1. She still has plenty of time for the voters to get to know her.

When they do, they can only fall in love with her. Go Elizabeth Warren!

5. Is that an on line poll where you can vote a thousand times?

6. Hey... I think if she loses, it's a message from Fate....

.... or whatever....

That it's pretty much "Game Over".

7. Suffolk U polls tend to oversample Repubs/Repub Leaners.

There were 3 other polls that came out recently which Put Warren ahead. It seems the right wing needs some propaganda right now.

8. 600 samplings ..dont believe this ....

it is obviously front loaded..there is nothing in th rules that says that a poll has to be certified to be reported..But anyone can conduct a poll and 75% of the sampling could be Republicans and we no one would ever know..

9. Well, when you restrict a poll to Boston Herald subscribers

this is the result you are likely to get.

Since she hasn't made any gaffes and Brown hasn't done anything to distance himself from GOPs like Santorum, it's bogus.

10. Accurate or not, no one will cast a vote for over NINE MONTHS.

I just don't think you can get real excited one way or the other about polls this far out. That's one of the reasons I don't bother reading the "Obama 48- Romney-41" threads. Those numbers are going to change a hundred times between now and November. Polls might be worth watching for trends, but that's about it.

11. LISTEN PEOPLE: If you want her to win DONATE!

In her interview on Maddow this evening she directed people to her website. Its easy to think that she has got this covered, but the truth is, Brown is popular and has way more money than she does. This was always going to be an uphill climb.

So please get involved.
