| Elizabeth Warren is holding a slight edge over Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) in their hotly contested Senate race, according to a new poll. One month before election day, the former Obama adviser and Harvard law professor is leading the freshman lawmaker 50 to 45 among likely voters, (Snip) The support for the two candidates shows a healthy break along gender lines, as Warren is pulling nearly two-thirds support from women, while Brown enjoys an 18-point edge among men. Warren's lead also comes despite the fact that Brown enjoys a healthy lead among independents, pulling 62 percent support compared to Warren's

Comments: So I put these numbers as given into my calculator and it blew up. Are they now forecasting both fare more Democrats and far more women to show up to vote in order to get the results they want? It's a good thing they aren't polling Martians favorable to 0bama or we'd be due for an invasion.

I don't trust the polls, that said, maybe Scott should not have disappointed the Tea Party. Like Mom used to say 'I brought you into this world, I can take you out' or the other one, ...who brought you to the dance...

It just goes to show you what my husband has always contended: Mass. voters are bone stupid. Witness "the swimmer", renamed the lion of the Senate, a mincing and obnoxious Barney Frank, and toy boy John Kerry, who was in Vietnam and marries increasingly wealthy women who can pay for his botox. That Elizabeth Warren, with her record, her lies, her law degree and her native American heritage is about to win proves my husband, once again, to be correct.

Never underestimate the stupidity of liberals in large groups.
If people used their brains to make rational judgements, Obama wouldn't have enougn votes to plot on a graph.
And Princess Lie-A-Watha would be the subject of such intense ridicule she would have to wear a Nixon mask to get served at the local Starbucks.

I'm not thinking Mass voters want to listen to this whisper baloney till the next election. She's missing a teepee or two, has 'practiced' law w/o a license. She's homely as a hedge fence and he's a centerfold. C'mon Mass voters.. slap a D on his nameif you have to and just vote him in.

I imagine that her numbers went up after voters found out she was practicing law without a license. It wouldn't be Massachusetts if they didn't have a criminal for a Senator.

Ladies of Mass:
The Western New England University Polling Institute is calling 2/3d of you, especially Independents, STUPID.
Can I call that a "fixed headline"?
Hopefully you will turn out in great numbers and vote for Sen. Scott Brown to prove the lib professors wrong.

I live in Mass and am active in our local republican committee. I still believe Brown will win this race. I agree there are a lot of ignorant voters here, but Scott's appeal should pull him through. There is so much outside money for her with non stop false advertising.

The OP has it right -- a suspect poll. Dems oversampled by 4 percent. Independents (where Brown is strong) undersampled by 5 percent. Male/female ratio is off. And a 5-point margin of error.
The key number, which The Hill carefully ignores, is that Lieawatha's unfavorable rating in this same poll has climbed 8 points in under a month. She had a 33% unfavorable three weeks ago; this survey puts that number at 41%.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama. In 2008, Obama won independents in the state by

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
