MA-Sen: Suffolk Poll Puts Brown Up

If you were breathing easy after yesterday's Blue Mass Group/Research 2000 poll showing Coakley up by eight points, it's time to breathe a little harder.

Suffolk University. 1/11-13. Likely voters. MoE 4.4%.

Martha Coakley 46%
Scott Brown 50%

Suffolk isn't a fantastic pollster -- they're in the lower half of the pollster rankings at FiveThirtyEight and completely missed the New Jersey governor's race. But since they missed New Jersey by putting the Democrat nine points up a week before he lost, that may be scant comfort.

In the end, we come back to the fact that special elections are tough to poll and we just won't know who was right until Tuesday night. All we can do in the meantime is work our asses off to get out the vote.
