Both finding support as negative labels fail to stick

Republican Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren, his likely Democratic opponent, are locked in a dead heat, with a large bloc of voters still undecided about which candidate to back in this marquee matchup, a Boston Globe poll has found.

The survey found that both candidates remain popular and are successfully managing their core political message and fending off attacks on their public image at this early stage of the campaign, which has become a focal point for the national parties as they vie for control of the Senate.

Voters seem to have responded to Brown’s message that he is a moderate, independent, and likable political figure, looking out for the state’s interest regardless of party. And Warren, though less known, is seen by many as a consumer advocate, who would champion working people, tax the rich, and battle corporations.

Few poll respondents associated her with the “Harvard elitist’’ label that Brown has tried to tag her with. Likewise, only one in five of those surveyed agree with Warren’s argument that Brown is marching in lockstep with the Republicans.

1. Warren will crush Brown

Warren's been under the radar, waiting until we're closer to the elections to surface so as not to have her message peak prematurely. She won't let him hide from his voting record. As Warren would say, there'll be blood and teeth on the floor.
