Democratic President Barack Obama’s lead over Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is growing in Massachusetts, and is now up to 30 points, according to a new poll conducted by the Western New England University Polling Institute for The Republican and MassLive.com.
The poll, conducted Sept. 28 - Oct. 4, finds Obama getting support from 63 percent of likely Massachusetts voters compared to 33 percent for Romney, with 3 percent undecided. The poll does not take into account the impact of the first presidential debate - in which Romney was widely viewed as the winner - since only one night of polling was done after that.
The results are not surprising. Though Romney is the former Massachusetts governor, he has consistently trailed Obama by double digits in his liberal-leaning home state. The bigger question is how the presidential race will affect the tight U.S. Senate race between Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren. The poll suggests that Obama’s growing lead does not necessarily give Warren an advantage. Since the last poll conducted for The Republican and MassLive.com on Sept. 6-13, Brown has actually picked up more Obama supporters than Warren has.
Warren is now getting support from 76 percent of likely voters who lean toward Obama, compared to 77 percent in September. Brown is getting support from 18 percent of Obama supporters, compared to 14 percent in September. (In both polls, Brown has gotten support from more than 90 percent of Romney supporters.)

Is that the “Tea Party extremist commercial?” My kids and I say, “Sounds good to me.”
Breaking news! Homos don’t vote Republican!
New Hampshire. They need to win NH. The election could be close and those EVs could matter. The Boston market reaches into NH. Radio ads for Romney running on Bos. stations:
“Things are really looking up for Obama here in New
Hampshire. Things like, unemployment. Gas prices...”
It’s to reach NH
Or should I say, “Thanks to Obama, things are really looking up here in NH” is how the GOP ad phrases it (Gas prices.
Unemployment...)
I work for post office and see Brown, Romney bumper stickers on cars in lot....Big Tisei sign nearby.
On the North Shore “if signs could vote” it’s Tisei all the way at least in some places like N Reading, Lynnfield,
Beverly, etc—fairly well to do towns but Gloucester and Rockport were Tierney/Obama/Warren to the max. Some cities like Lynn will probably go heavily Dem. Last time Hudak
who ran against Tierney had tons of signs..gave him a challenge but still lost. Tierney got signs up late
and people tended to ignore the Tierney/Eremian Crime
Family Scandal.
Labor etc. (teachers and so forth) go Dem but who knows.
And the “(non)-working family” vote (EBT cards)
Could 3rd party Libertarian candidate swing race to Tierney? Salem News:
>>However, Fishman is getting some push-back from conservatives who view his candidacy as a threat to Tisei. Both are socially liberal and fiscally conservative, and conventional wisdom for many suggests that Fishman stands to do more harm to Tisei than to his Democratic opponent.
“I don’t know who would support Tierney at this point; I guess it’s union people, and I can’t imagine any of them supporting Fishman,” said Barbara Anderson, executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation, a conservative group based in Marblehead.
Although Anderson counts herself as a Libertarian, she wishes Fishman had stayed out of the race.
And he will probably win it. Mass. loves the old bootlegger whoremongers progeny.
