Scott Brown Crushing Rival 2-1 in New Poll

Anyone that reads this blog regularly knows that we cover a lot of poll data. Over the last several months we've had several articles about the large lead that Massachusetts Republican Senator Scott Brown has opened up in the 2012 race.

Brown, elected early last year in one of the biggest political upsets of the last 50 years, is up for a full term at the end of next year. Now it appears that he might just get it.


According to a new Suffolk/7News poll, Brown is crushing his potential rival by a large margin.

Brown *(R): 52%
Capuano (D): 26%
Other/und: 22%


Obviously being over 50% for an incumbent is very important. You can also notice that Brown is also holding many voters from making a decision. I would believe that many of the remaining 22% may consider voting for the Republican in the race, but may be hesitant because of his political affiliation. That being said, much of it is also that Capuano is not as well-known as the Senator.

A little tidbit regarding RomneyCare and by extension, ObamaCare and the opinion of the privileged liberals of New England:

Q21. Do you think healthcare in Massachusetts is working?

N= 500 100%

Yes ............................................ 1 ( 1/123) 190 38%

No ............................................. 2 246 49%

Still, any Republican polling above 50% is quite the achievement in Massachusetts. Hell, Rhode Island tossed out Lincoln Chafee in 2006 and he was to the left of Harry Reid.
