MA-SEN Update: Kerry Maintains Big Lead Over Beatty

While Jeff Beatty picked up the two points that Kerry last over the last month, the incumbent still holds an impressive lead over the challenger according to Rasmussen.

I think the key is illustrated in these numbers:
Kerry picks up support from 85% of Democrats and 14% of Republicans in the Bay State. Beatty’s backed by 74% of Republicans and 7% of Democrats. The race among unaffiliated voters is noticeably close, with Kerry leading 40% to 36%.
There are actually "Republicans" in Massachusetts who support John Kerry?!?!?! Clearly, that tent is too big...



Donate to Beatty here. 41% of Massachusetts voters have no opinion on his favorable/unfavorable. That means Jeff needs to get his name recognition up in a hurry if he expects to close these numbers any...
