There are no new developments in the United States Senate race in Massachusetts – incumbent John Kerry is still the clear frontrunner. This month, the former Presidential candidate leads GOP challenger Jeff Beatty 56% to 29%. When “leaners” are included, Kerry leads 59% to 32%. Last month, Kerry had a 58% to 27%. In the month prior, Kerry had a thirty-eight percentage point lead.

Kerry picks up support from 85% of Democrats and 14% of Republicans in the Bay State. Beatty’s backed by 74% of Republicans and 7% of Democrats. The race among unaffiliated voters is noticeably close, with Kerry leading 40% to 36%. Massachusetts is known as a predominantly blue state, and is classified as “Safe Democratic” in the Rasmussen Reports balance of power calculator in the general election.

The democrat leads 53% to 33% among men in Massachusetts and 58% to 25% among women. Favorability ratings for both candidates have changed little since June. Kerry is viewed favorably by 59% and unfavorably by 38%. Beatty’s ratings are 30% favorable, 29% unfavorable. The plurality of voters (41%) still have no opinion of the republican challenger.
