Poll shows Elizabeth Warren taking slim lead
But18% of voters said theyre still undecided
By Noah Bierman and Frank Phillips
With Elizabeth Warren and Senator Scott Brown preparing for their second debate Monday night, Warren appears to be inching ahead in the highly competitive race for Senate, as Massachusetts Democrats energized by the presidential race begin to fall in line behind her, according to a new Globe poll.
Warren, a Democrat, leads Brown, a Republican, 43 percent to 38 percent, a shift from the Globes last poll in May, when Brown held a 2-point lead. But the race remains within either candidates grasp, with 18 percent of voters still undecided, said Andrew E. Smith, the Globes pollster and the director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.

In the presidential contest, the poll shows President Obama leading former governor Mitt Romney by 27 percentage points in Massachusetts, a 57 percent to 30 percent landslide. If that holds up, Brown will face a strong Democratic headwind that could overwhelm his individual efforts as a candidate in the Nov. 6 election.

(22,271 posts)8. This is great news!
This is SO critical for so many reasons, not the least of which is, if she doesn't win the Senate seat she won't be our first female president and that would be a tragedy.
