The latest
Rasmussen poll shows Massachusetts Attorney General Martha
Coakley (D) leading state Sen. Scott Brown (R) by just nine
points in the race to replace the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. Coakley
wins an anemic 50 percent of the vote to Brown's 41 percent. A
few caveats: Rasmussen results are often seen as more
pro-Republican than other polls; it is hard to know who will turn
out in a special election; even a high single-digit gap is a lot
of ground for Brown to make up by the time the election takes
place on Jan. 19.
But even if something like those numbers holds up, it could show
that discontent with the national Democrats has reached even a
significant slice of the Massachusetts electorate. Brown is
winning 62 percent of independents, who are now a plurality of
Bay State voters. Just breaking 40 percent of the vote against a
heavily favored Democrat could position Scott Brown to run for
another statewide office where Republicans usually stand a better
chance than Senate races. Mitt Romney's 41 percent against Ted
Kennedy set him up to run for governor. Joe Malone parlayed an
even weaker showing against Kennedy than that into two terms as
state treasurer.
