Warren Shows Weakness In Massachusetts
   
January 23, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

A new WBUR poll in Massachusetts finds that only 44% of voters think Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “deserves reelection” while 46% think voters ought to “give someone else a chance.” 

“Warren’s numbers contrast sharply with those of Gov. Charlie Baker (R). His favorability rating is 59% — 8 points better than Warren. But what’s more striking is that only 29% of poll respondents think someone else should get a chance at the governor’s office.”

Said pollster Steve Koczela: “No one’s going to look at a 44 percent reelect number and think that that’s a good number. No one’s going to look at it being close to even between ‘reelect’ and ‘give someone else a chance’ and think that that’s reassuring.”

We are killing ourselves in this country. The GOP is the party of death and misery. 

It's called winning Bob. People like to win.

8. My guess (if this poll holds; it is of course very early)
 
is that there may be some dissatisfaction that Warren has tried to make herself a national figure vying for the spotlight, right out of the gate (from day one), rather than focusing constituent services and what is good for the Commonwealth....

Warren has one, and only one tone of voice and that is shriek.

10. I think Warren has changed a bit

She used to be a lot more serious and academic. I think some of her rhetoric now is a bit too simple and she seems more partisan than somebody with a lot of facts. 

Also maybe she needs to be a bit more like Al Franken.  I realize that when you are a star the party needs to have you rally the troops, but she needs to maybe go deeper on issues in her state and spend time there.

She's incredibly smart  on the issues and we really need her so I think we need her to keep her poll numbers up.

I think Liz is in need of some DUmmy vibes or something.

Curt Schilling is lining up to challenge her.  He's one former Phillie and Red Sox member that I would send money to in a heartbeat.

Wonder how his chance to run for the Senate could impact his baseball Hall of Fame voting?

She is a hardline obnoxious and condescending twat, of course I realize that DUers and the DI Prog contingent can's see this since that's exactly where they come from, too.

Like Mitt Romney I will not be voting for the re-election of Charlie Baker.  I do not care who is running against him.

He lost votes this time around and he has been fairly vocal and conservative on Twitter the last couple years.

As appealing as the thought is that rejection of Prog'ism has even reached MA, I suspect "frazzled" his put his/her finger on Fauxcahontas' apparent problem with MA voters. Not that "Both" is an unappealing possibility.
