<\/a>BREAKING NEWS...<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Fox and various other Media are reporting this morning a bombshell of a political development. <\/p>

State Senator Scott Brown, who had been as much as 30 points behind Attorney General Martha Coakley in the race for US Senate, for Ted Kennedy's seat, is now 1 point ahead in the latest poll.<\/p>

From Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>

The race to replace Ted Kennedy in the U.S. Senate is looking like a toss up, with Republican Scott Brown up 48-47 on Martha Coakley. <\/p>

Brown is benefiting from depressed Democratic interest in the election and a huge lead among independents for his surprisingly strong standing.<\/p><\/blockquote>

The crosstabs indicate that candidate Brown has a much higher favorable to unfavorable ratio than candidate Coakley. Brown is at 57\/25, while Coakley is at 50\/42. And voter intensity\/excitement is much stronger among those who had voted for McCain over Obama in 2008. <\/p>

From the summary by polling firm PPP:<\/p>

Brown is benefiting from depressed Democratic interest in the election and a huge lead among independents for his surprisingly strong standing. Those planning to vote in the special election only report having voted for Barack Obama in 2008 by a 16 point margin, in contrast to his actual 26 point victory in the state.<\/p>

That decline in turnout from Obama voters plagued Democratic candidates for Governor in Virginia and New Jersey last fall. Beyond that 66% of Republicans say they’re ‘very excited’ about turning out while only 48% of Democrats express that sentiment.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Public Policy Polling (PPP), is generally regarded as a left-leaning firm. Another poll conducted just last week had Brown down by 8, 49 to 41.<\/p>
