Poll: Scott Brown, Martha Coakley only 2 points apart

A new poll in the special U.S. Senate election between Attorney General Martha Coakley and state Sen. Scott Brown shows the contest is tightening.

The results of a Rasmussen telephone survey released yesterday found Coakley, a Democrat, capturing 49 percent of likely voters while her Republican opponent, Brown, is garnering 47 percent.

The special election to replace the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy is on Tuesday in Massachusetts .

Most polls show that people believe politics in Massachusetts is so corrupt that Marth Coakley will win because she is the chosen candidate of the crooks. (Opinion, Polls are not worded that way of course but that is about what they mean.)
