According to Rasmussen, Republican State Senator Scott Brown is within striking distance of Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley. They are competing to replace Senator Paul Kirk who was appointed to Senator Kennedy's seat. The special election will be held on January 19. The amazing stat from this poll is that Scott Brown is leading among independents by more than 40 points (65-21) but is still down 9 overall. If Brown somehow pulls of the political miracle of the decade (century?) he'll need to convince Democrats. I don't see that happening, but a close election here will be a huge win for Republicans.
Martha Coakley 50%
Scott Brown 41%
