Brown, Warren Virtually Tied Heading into Election Day

Just a day before Election Day, a new poll released Monday shows that incumbent Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Elizabeth Warren are virtually tied in the U.S. Senate race among likely voters in Massachusetts.

Brown is ahead of Warren by 1 percentage point, 49-48, the poll showed. The one-point advantage is within the poll's 4.1-point margin of error. 

The latest poll was conducted by UMass Lowell's Center for Public Opinion and the Boston Herald. Nearly 1,000 Massachusetts voters were surveyed between Wednesday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 3. 

The poll found that Brown is viewed favorably by 54 percent of the 956 voters surveyed, with 39 percent holding a negative opinion of him, according to the Herald. Warren was viewed favorably by 50 percent of voters, with 42 percent viewing her unfavorably.

While Warren has come out on top by anywhere from 2 to 7 percentage points in several recent polls, collectively her perceived lead is now at 3.5 percent, according to the tally by RealClearPolitics. That number is based off polls conducted throughout the duration of the Senate campaign, but again is well within the margin of error.
