2008 Massachusetts General Election Statistics

Election 2010: Massachusetts Special Senate Election
Massachusetts Senate Election: Coakley (D) 49%, Brown (R) 47%
Tuesday, January 12, 2010

The Massachusetts’ special U.S. Senate election has gotten tighter, but the general dynamics remain the same.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley attracting 49% of the vote while her Republican rival, state Senator Scott Brown, picks up 47%.

Three percent (3%) say they’ll vote for independent candidate Joe Kennedy, and two percent (2%) are undecided. The independent is no relation to the late Edward M. Kennedy, whose Senate seat the candidates are battling to fill in next Tuesday's election.

Coakley is supported by 77% of Democrats while Brown picks up the vote from 88% of Republicans. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Brown leads 71% to 23%. To be clear, this lead is among unaffiliated voters who are likely to participate in the special election.

A week ago, the overall results showed Coakley leading by a 50% to 41% margin. The closeness of the race in heavily Democratic Massachusetts has drawn increasing national interest, and Brown made it clear in the final candidate debate last night that a vote for him is a vote to stop the national health care plan Democrats are pushing in Congress.

(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.

The results of this poll are not precisely comparable with last week’s results because this poll includes the independent candidate by name while the previous poll simply offered the choice of “some other candidate." Additionally, the latest poll results include “leaners.”

Leaners are those who don’t initially have a preference for one of the major candidates but indicate that they are leaning in that direction. Without “leaners,” Brown was actually ahead by a single percentage point.

Although the top line results are now a bit tighter, the new polling is consistent with the analysis provided yesterday by Scott Rasmussen.

All recent polls place Coakley right around the 50% mark and support for opposition candidates above 40%. Turnout will be the key, and Brown’s voters appear to be more energized.

All polling indicates that a lower turnout is better for the Republican. The new Rasmussen Reports poll shows that Brown is ahead by two percentage points among those who are absolutely certain they will vote. A week ago, he trailed by two among those certain to vote.

To overcome the enthusiasm gap and help generate a larger turnout, national Democrats are getting involved in the race. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is reportedly spending more than half a million dollars in the final days of a campaign that Coakley has long been the heavy favorite to win. Senator John Kerry in an emergency fundraising letter for Coakley today says the race is "a dead heat," and he and former President Bill Clinton plan to campaign in the state on Friday.

Brown raised over a million dollars on Monday and appears to have narrowed the financial gap so far. Coakley has gone negative in the second television ad of her campaign, one that includes Brown in front of a picture of conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh. She also sought to link Brown to former President George W. Bush during the debate.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of likely voters in Massachusetts have a favorable opinion of Brown, and 58% say the same about Coakley.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of voters think Coakley will win the election, while 33% expect a victory for Brown.

Coakley, who was elected attorney general in 2006, defeated several other candidates to win her party’s nomination in a December 8 primary. Brown, who has served in the State Senate since 2004, won the GOP primary the same day.

Fifty-two percent (52%) favor the health care legislation before Congress, but 46% are opposed. Nationally, most voters oppose the proposed health care plan.

Sixty-five percent (65%) of voters say the man who tried to blow up an airline on Christmas Day should be tried by the military as a terrorist act while 21% believe the case should be tried by civilian courts as a criminal act. Seventy-seven percent (77%) now favor the use of full-body scanners at airports.

Forty-one percent (41%) believe the $787-billion economic stimulus plan passed by Congress last year helped the economy while 23% believe it hurt. That’s a much more positive assessment than the stimulus plan receives nationally.

However, even in Massachusetts, just 38% believe that increases in government spending generally help the economy. Forty-four percent (44%) say such spending generally has a negative impact. As for taxes, 56% believe that tax hikes are bad for the economy while 23% think they help.

Thirty-seven percent (37%) of Massachusetts voters think that more jobs will be created by cancelling the rest of the stimulus spending while 44% think spending the money will create more jobs.

Nationally, just over half believe that canceling the spending is the better tool for job creation.

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of those likely to vote in this election still approve of the way that Barack Obama is doing his job as president. Just 40% approve of the way that Deval Patrick is handling his role as governor.

The survey was conducted on Monday night, the night of a televised debate between the candidates.

DNC Chairman Tim Kaine Releases Statement in Honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine Releases Statement in Honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Washington – Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine issued the following statement in recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day:

“Today we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and honor his legacy of non-violent social change and justice. While there is still work to be done, we take time to acknowledge the tremendous progress we as a country have made in combating racism, bigotry and intolerance. Dr. King’s timeless values of truth, courage, compassion, dignity, justice, service and humility serve as an example for all Americans to strive to better themselves and their community.

“In a speech delivered shortly before his untimely death, Dr. King challenged each and every American to be a ‘Drum Major’ for justice. Dr. King urged Americans to live up to their ideals and strive to serve their neighbors. This year as we honor the life and legacy of Dr. King let us not just honor his memory but also resolve to recommit ourselves to family and community through service.”

Birmingham Mayor's race

There are lies being put out about Patrick Cooper. Some of you have seen the flier critical of his endorsement of Howard Bayless when Howard ran for School Board. Now a power point is claiming he was endorsed by the Stonewall Democrats, among other things.

Alabama Stonewall Democrats did not make an endorsement in this race. The power point claims the endorsement was announced at the Wine Loft event. No endorsements were made at that event, and no vote was taken at any meeting regarding the mayor's race.

The parties behind these attacks will stop at nothing to prevent progress from being made in our city.

Please vote on Tuesday, January 19, 2010.

Phoenix Working Young Democrats

Hey Team,
Urgent message here. Latest polls say that Republican Scott Brown is ahead in the race for Teddy Kennedy's Senate seat....WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN! Healthcare reform, immigration reform, energy reform, whatever your issues are, we can't pursue any of them if we lose our 60 seat majority in the Senate. Brown would be that loss.

We are phonebanking low-turnout Obama voters in Massachusetts today at the new Organizing for America office, 103 West Highland ave (near the corner of N. Central and Highland, just turn in right before Lola's and we are the big brick building on the left with a bunch of Obama bumper stickered cars in the parking lot. Suite 101.)

You wouldn't believe how many people I have phonebanked today who didn't even know an election was happening, where their polling location was, who Martha is, or what was at stake in this election! I really think I've personally gotten fifteen or more folks out to the polls already today who wouldn't have voted if I hadn't talked to them.

Please come out. Spanish speakers needed too. Call me with questions or come by anytime today between now and 7pm and Tuesday the 19th between 9am and 7pm.

Georgia Democrats: Phone Bank on Saint Simons Island

Bob Ingram will hold a phone bank at his house on Tuesday January 19, 9:A.M. and you are welcome to Join:
511 Marsh Circle
Saint Simons Island, GA 31522

In case you are not following the news the Senate race to replace the late Senator Ted Kennedy has turned into a desperate race to the finish. If the democrat Martha Coakley loses to the republican Scott Brown we will likely be forced to accept the senate health care bill as stands with no compromise from the House. In my opinion the house bill was a better bill in most respects (except women's rights) plus it still had the public option. I have always believed that states should take care of their own business, but the other side does not play that way so we can't afford to either. It is expected to be a light turn out. (Like the run off we had between Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin).

You can phone bank yourself with the Organizing for America website

Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Our nettlesome task is to discover how to organize our strength into compelling power.” He was an inspiring and powerful organizer who harnessed the voice of fairness and equality into a cohesive movement. Here in South Dakota, we also face the task of harnessing a voice, the voice of progressive youth who fight to elect and hold accountable candidates who represent the great ideals of the Democratic Party. While King stands above and beyond as an extraordinary and unique leader and servant, we can aspire to use our own talents and time to work for change here in South Dakota.

Our organizers on Pine Ridge Reservation embody the spirit of change. In 2008, they helped elect two of only three Democrats in West River to the state legislature: Ed Iron Cloud, and Kevin Killer. Yet those same organizers face extreme difficulties in organizing. Pine Ridge Reservation is roughly the size of Connecticut, and homes do not have street addresses. Despite this, organizers created their own lists to document voter contact. In addition, voters have to drive to the neighboring county to register to vote (which is often an hour and a half drive), making voter registration on the reservation critical. Organizers have access to limited resources on the reservation to accomplish the outstanding work they do.

We have the opportunity to help provide our organizers with the tools they need to get out the Democratic vote. (Shannon County, by the way, votes 91% for Democrats!) One of the most critical tools our organizers need are laptops. There are several ways you can help. You can donate your old laptop to the South Dakota Young Democrats. We will update the laptops as needed and deliver them to our members on Pine Ridge. You can donate a new laptop to organizers. Finally, you can make a donation to the South Dakota Young Democrats designated to the Native Outreach Fund. Please specify you wish for your donation to be used for laptops.

Thanks for helping turn South Dakota Blue!
Sincerely,
Kristin Aschenbrenner
President of the South Dakota Young Democrats
