2. That poll was done from February 2 - 4

Feb 2012

February 2 is when the Insider Trading bill passed - which the Boston Globe down listed as Brown's bill. (Ignoring that all he really did was to have the political savvy to edit the House bill and introduce it in the Senate - and Gillibrand, with 25 sponsors to Brown's 8, did the same thing, although she had the grace to mention Louise Slaughter.

There was also his grandstanding with Obama, demanding Obama support "his bill" - even though Obama already had. Those 3 days were filled with praise for Brown - at least as seen through google.

I agree that Kerry's numbers are not bad - and in his case, there has not been a lot of positive press and there was some negative press - from the dishonest Schweitzer attack and the super committee failing.

What is disconcerting is that Warren has really not raised her favorables as much as could have been hoped for - though maybe the general election will do that.
