Elizabeth Warren, heroic Cherokee enemy of the Yankee Capitalist running dogs, is the left's dreamboat 2020 candidate. Before Bernie, the team behind him tried to draft her to run. But while Warren is very popular with the crazy leftist, she's not very popular in her own state.
51 percent view her favorably... But according to a new WBUR poll, only 44 percent think Warren "deserves reelection." Forty-six percent think voters ought to "give someone else a chance."
"No one's going to look at a 44 percent reelect number and think that that's a good number," said Steve Koczela, president of The MassINC Polling Group, which conducts surveys for WBUR. "No one's going to look at it being close to even between 'reelect' and 'give someone else a chance' and think that that's reassuring.”
Warren’s numbers contrast sharply with those of Gov. Charlie Baker. His favorability rating is 59 percent — 8 points better than Warren. But what’s more striking is that only 29 percent of poll respondents think someone else should get a chance at the governor’s office.
How could the state’s top Republican be more popular than its top Democrat? Steve Koczela says it’s about bipartisanship.
"When you look at Elizabeth Warren's favorables, only 12 percent of Republicans have a favorable view of her," Koczela said. "When you look at Baker, 60 percent of Democrats view him favorably. So he has bipartisan appeal where Elizabeth Warren really never has.”
Also Warren has the Hillary problem of being an unpleasant liar. Her numbers have always been poor. Lefties love her. No one really does.
And she's obsessively pursued narrow ideological agendas instead of working to benefit people in general. MA is on the liberal side, but voters tend to want people who work for them, instead of positioning themselves for a presidential run by grandstanding in the Senate. And that's what Warren does.
All of this is bad news for those lefties hoping to make her into the new Bernie Sanders while kneecapping Cory Booker. Booker is a bland figure, but Warren is unlikable. It could be the Obama-Hillary matchup repeated as farce.
