WBUR Senate Poll: Warren Leads Brown By 5
BOSTON — A WBUR poll of 507 likely Massachusetts voters (PDFs — topline, crosstabs) finds Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren leading Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, 45 percent to 40 percent. The survey has a 4.4 percent margin of error.
The WBUR poll, conducted Sept. 15-17 by the MassINC Polling Group, is the fourth released this week to find Warren making gains.
The poll finds an increasing number of likely voters — 39 percent — believe Warren “will stand up for regular people when in the Senate,” compared to just 30 percent when we polled back in February. Twenty-nine percent said the same thing of Brown, compared to 33 percent in February.
The other polls were from PPP, WNEU and Suffolk.
