widening as the Bay State heads into the January 19 special election.
Reports PPP:
Over the last week Brown has continued his dominance with independents and increased his ability to win over Obama voters as Coakley’s favorability numbers have declined into negative territory….
-Brown is up 64-32 with independents and is winning 20% of the vote from people who supported Barack Obama in 2008 while Coakley is getting just 4% of the McCain vote.
-Brown’s voters continue to be much more enthusiastic than Coakley’s. 80% of his say they’re ‘very excited’ about voting Tuesday while only 60% of hers express that sentiment. But the likely electorate now reports having voted for Barack Obama by 19 points, up from 16 a week ago, and a much smaller drop from his 26 point victory in the state than was seen in Virginia.
-Those planning to turn out continue to be skeptical of the Democratic health care plan, saying they oppose it by a 48/40 margin.
-Coakley’s favorability dropped from 50% to 44% after a week filled with perceived missteps. Brown’s negatives went up a lot but his positives only actually went from 57% to 56%, an indication that attacks against him may have been most effective with voters already planning to support Coakley but ambivalent toward Brown.
-56% of voters in the state think Brown has made a strong case for why he should be elected while just 41% say the same of Coakley. Even among Coakley’s supporters only 73% think she’s made the argument for herself, while 94% of Brown’s supporters think he has.
Those “missteps” aren’t merely “perceived.” They’re quite real, piling up, and epitomize the entitled, elitist mindset of Coakley and her party. As Boston Red Sox great Curt Schilling put it at a rally Sunday after endorsing Brown, Coakley’s clueless jab at him is “another sign of her aloofness, and just the fact that she’s very out of touch, I think, with the people.”
The Left’s tired, old “Blame Bush” bromides aren’t cutting it. Who’s Martha Coakley kidding? Her supporters accuse Brown — an Army National Guardsman from a middle-class-upbringing who has campaigned across the state in his truck — of being a “Bush crony” candidate while Coakley parties with Washington lobbyists and the Kennedy clan (at least one of whom reportedly can’t even get her name right).
She’s the proven voice of fatcats and corruptocrats.
He’s uniting Tea Party activists, rank-and-file union members, GOP party faithful, and independents.
