MA-Sen Poll Watch: Sen. Scott Brown Safe for Now

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., poses with Dawn Rogers and her sleeping son Zander, 15 months, after Brown signed a copy of his new book, ‘Against All Odds,’ at a bookstore in Boston, Tuesday afternoon Feb. 22, 2011

In fact, more than half of registered voters say he deserves re-election.

Republican Scott Brown is in a strong position as he prepares to seek a full six-year term in the United States Senate in 2012, according to the latest survey from the Western New England College Polling Institute.

The telephone survey of 472 registered voters, conducted March 6-10, found that Brown is the best known among a list of declared and possible candidates for Senate, with a favorability rating of 53 percent and an unfavorability rating of 27 percent.

Also, 52 percent of registered voters say Brown deserves to be re-elected, while 28 percent say he does not deserve to be re-elected. Brown won a special election in January 2010 to serve the remainder of the late Senator Edward Kennedy’s unexpired term and is expected to seek a full term in 2012.

The Democrats want to recapture the “Kemnedy” Senate seat but Senator Scott Brown, a Republican has proven to be popular.

But, will his popularity hold as the election season nears?
