MA Sen Poll: Coakley's 8-Point Lead Vanishes

A new survey from Research 2000 (500 LVs, 1/15-17, MoE +/- 5%), this time for the Daily Kos, shows that Martha Coakley's 8-point lead has been wiped out in just four days.

Special Election Matchup
Brown (R) 48 (+7 vs. last poll, 1/12-13 )
Coakley (D) 48 (-1)
Kennedy (I) 3 (-2)
Und 1 (-4)

Some key differences with a PPP (D) survey last night. First, independent candidate Joe Kennedy (no relation) is tested. Secondly, there's a wide swing in Coakley's favorable rating -- it was just 44 percent in the PPP survey. And third, Coakley gets a bigger share of Democratic votes -- nearly 90 percent, compared to 77 percent in the PPP survey.

Independents side overwhelmingly with Brown, by a margin of 65-29 percent.

Favorable Ratings
Coakley 58 / 31
Brown 51 / 30
Kennedy 38 / 44
