Elizabeth Warren campaign rally
Princeton Survey Research (PDF) for the Boston Herald and UMass-Lowell. 12/1-6. Registered voters (
9/22-28 in parenthesis):
Elizabeth Warren (D): 49 (38)
Scott Brown (R-inc): 42 (41)
(MoE: ±5.3%)
Elizabeth Warren has turned a three-point deficit into a seven-point lead. The internals of the poll explain that her surge is a direct result of her populist message of defending middle class families against the depredations of Wall Street:
- By a margin of 43 percent to 33 percent, voters think Warren would do a better job of "looking out for the economic interests middle class families."
- By a margin of 47 percent to 28 percent, voters think Warren would do a better job of "pursuing appropriate regulations of Wall Street financial institutions."
- While 23 percent say they are less likely to vote Warren for her support of Occupy Wall Street, 37 percent say they are less likely to support Brown for receiving so many donations from Wall Street.
In other words, even though
Wall Street is panicking over Warren and dumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into negative ads against her, their support for Brown is actually hurting him.
Elizabeth Warren's message is working. Please, contribute $7 to her campaign on Orange to Blue.
