BOSTON — Obama came to Massachusetts on Sunday in hopes of rescuing the flailing candidacy of Martha Coakley, the Democratic candidate in an election on Tuesday that will determine whether the party preserves a 60-vote majority in the Senate needed to keep alive health care legislation and the rest of the president’s agenda. The Democratic Party was deploying its full arsenal here for the final 48 hours of the battle between Ms. Coakley and Scott Brown, a Republican state senator, whose popularity has grown as he tapped into an angry and frustrated electorate. As the contest lurched toward an unpredictable finish, both sides believed the race would hinge on women voters not aligned with either party. Democratic leaders in Congress and at the White House were bracing for what they said was a real possibility that Ms. Coakley could lose the race. The most alarming fact in polls and internal research, several party advisers said, was that Ms. Coakley was still falling behind Mr. Brown among voters who had a favorable view of the president.
