From CQ Politics:
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) leads state Sen. Scott Brown (R) in the Senate special election race, but by a narrower margin than expected given the Democratic lean of the state, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Jan. 4.
Coakley topped Brown 50 to 41 percent among likely voters, with 7 percent unsure. The margin of error was 4.5 percent.
Both candidates have strong favorable ratings — Brown was viewed favorably by 56 percent of likely voters and Coakley by 60 percent. Coakely, however, is better known. Just 4 percent of voters had no opinion of her, compared to 17 percent who were unsure about Brown.
