Rasmussen Reports has conducted an Election Night survey of 1,000 voters in the Massachusetts special election for U.S. Senate. Data will be released on this page throughout the evening.
Polls closed in Massachusetts at 8:00 p.m. Eastern in the race between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown.
Preliminary results include:
* Among those who decided how they would vote in the past few days, Coakley has a slight edge, 47% to 41%.
* Coakley also has a big advantage among those who made up their mind more than a month ago.
* Seventy-six percent (76%) of voters for Brown said they were voting for him rather than against Coakley.
* Sixty-six percent (66%) of Coakley voters said they were voting for her rather than against Brown.
* 22% of Democrats voted for Brown. That is generally consistent with pre-election polling.
More data will be released soon.
There were few undecides as of Friday’s polling. 22% of dummies voting smart bodes well for Brown.
(just hedging my bets)..
I started getting worried when this election was starting to be nationalized.
Go to: http://www.boston.com/news/special/politics/2010/senate/results.html for real data!
55% Brown to 45% Coakley
I'm from Norwood and Romney carried it by 54% in 03. If Brown does better it will be a short night.

Are you insane, 6% of less than 10% undecided is .6%, Brown will win by .6% less which means by 5.5% rather than 6%
22% dem votes for Brown is a good sign.

Remember, the first results will be out of heavily liberal Boston and suburbs, and will be more pro-Coakley than the rest of the state. That doesn’t ensure that she won’t ultimately win, but don’t go getting a case of premature heartburn, either.
Go to this link for actual results.
Brown is up.

Rasmussen has more info than he is disclosing.
If Brown gets 22% of the Dims he will need to carry 60% of the Independents and 100% of the Republicans to get 51% of the total vote.
That’s a pretty tall order. Doable, but tough.
No, I’m not “insane”.
I want BROWN to win but if things are close, the Demoncrat FRAUD factor will give her the victory.

Those numbers sound low to me...
What’s wrong this guy? Does he know something we don’t and is not going to let us in on it?
Fox just announced 4% of vote counted with Brown ahead 52% to 47%.
I am hearing we have a new US Senator.......SCOTT BROWN!! (not confirmed) Sos has not announced it yet
