Results of a UMass Lowell/Boston Herald poll this week show former Sen. Scott Brown, R-Wrentham, is more popular than he was when he lost his re-election bid last fall. It says he is in a strong position to run for governor in 2014.
The independent, nonpartisan poll surveyed 600 Massachusetts registered voters between Saturday, March 2 and Tuesday, March 5.
The poll—which asked voters for their opinions on whether they would vote for Brown if he runs for governor—showed he has bipartisan support, with 32.7 percent saying they are very likely to vote for him and 26 percent somewhat likely.
Results showed that Brown, who garnered support of 92.2 percent of Republicans polled and 36.7 percent of Democrats, had more name recognition than other possible candidates, including Charlie Baker (67.2 percent combined said they had no opinion/never heard of Baker), former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey (58.4 percent combined no opinion/never heard of) and state Treasurer Steve Grossman (79.5 percent no opinion/never heard of).
