Harvard professor, Democratic Senate candidate touts Center for American Progress as PPP Poll shows her down by 5
On
Tuesday, the Democratic polling firm Public Policy Polling released a new poll
showing Brown leading Elizabeth
Warren by five points, 49 to 44 percent. Brown leads Warren 58 to 32
percent among independents. He has also won over 20 percent of
Democrats. 54 percent of those polled said Brown is “about right”
ideologically, while only 27 percent said the same of the Republican Party.
Independents comprise 48 percent of
Massachusetts voters.
“Scott Brown’s been able to hold up his
image as a moderate and that has him in a good position right now,” Public
Policy Polling president Dean Debnam said in a statement.
Warren’s unfavorability rating in the poll
has increased 10 points in the last five months, during which time the
controversy surrounding her heritage and academic career badly damaged her
campaign while exposing voters to her left-wing policy positions.
