MA-Western New England College: Sen. Brown (R) very tough to beat

[DrScholl]

In the end, the Democrat who challenges Brown will be the winner. In a Presidential year in a very Democratic state, the Democrat is going to have the edge. The sample seems to include a very low number of Democrats for MA, too low for what the actually electorate will be like.

High approvals don't always equal re-election, plus the election over a year away and his record hasn't been hashed out, with a year of votes and positions left to take. 73% seems like a number that would come down to earth at some point, especially when he will have to defend his record.
