Brown Overtakes Warren in Massachusetts
A new Boston Globe poll in Massachusetts shows Sen. Scott Brown (R) with a razor thin lead over Elizabeth Warren (D) in their U.S. Senate race among likely voters, 45% to 43%.

In September, Warren held a five point lead.

However, Brown's lead evaporates, with 47% for each candidate, when voters who are undecided are asked which candidate they are leaning toward.
