Democrat-Supporting Pollster: Brown +1


Public Policy Polling has Scott Brown ahead by one point in the Massachusetts Senate race!

On Tuesday, when Rasmussen found that Scott Brown and his Democratic opponent were separated by single digits, liberals were incredulous. The New York Times claimed that Rasmussen's polls are essentially worthless.

Now that PPP (a liberal pollster) has produced these numbers, Democrats will be forced to admit that Brown has built considerable momentum. In mere weeks, Brown has surged from a 30 point deficit. Now it's a toss up.

Even Brown's Eeyores should be smiling now.

Some Details:
  • 66% of GOP voters say they are 'very excited' about casting their votes, while only 48% of Democrats express that sentiment.
  • Brown holds a 63-31 lead with independent voters.
  • Among voters who have a negative take on both parties, Brown leads 74-21.
  • Brown's favorability spread is a remarkable +32 (57/25).
Here's the REALLY good news for Brown:

Those folks planning to vote in the special election are actually opposed to Obama’shealth care plan by a 47/41 margin and only narrowly express approval of the President’s overall job performance 44/43.

If the Massachusetts Senate race is a referendum on ObamaCare, Scott Brown could do very well on January 19.
