Poll: Brown Holds Double-Digit Leads
More good news for the most vulnerable Republican Senator up for reelection in 2012: double-digit polling leads against six possible opponents.
A Suffolk University poll surmises that Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown "remains untouchable" against all Democratic challengers considering a bid against him and finds that 55 percent of voters think the freshman should be reelected.
In the poll of 500 Bay State voters taken April 3-5, Brown leads all opponents by at least 15 points, with the exception of former Rep. Joe Kennedy, who has already indicated he won't run. Brown also boasts a 58 percent approval rating, tracking even a point ahead of President Obama.
The breakdown of the individual match-ups:
Brown 52%, Deval Patrick 37%
Brown 52%, Rep. Mike Capuano 26%
Brown 51%, Tim Murray 23%
Brown 52%, Setti Warren 9%
Brown 52%, Rep. Ed Markey 26%
