Release here.They have it at Brown 48, Markey 45. But behind those numbers the trends favor Markey. Brown is at 93% name recognition compared to 73% for Markey, and the undecideds in the poll favored Warren last November by a 4-to-1 margin.
In the same poll, Markey leads Lynch in a two-way primary by 52-19, with many undecided. Lynch trails Brown 48-39.
It seems the GOP voters in the sample, by a 48-38 margin, would prefer Brown run for Governor instead of Senate. Brown looks good, at this early stage, in that race.
This poll is more favorable to Markey (and Dems generally) that what we’ve seen thus far. Someone’s off. But PPP did very well in last year’s elections, including here in Massachusetts.
