Scott Brown outpolls Obama and Kerry

A Boston Globe poll shows Senator Scott Brown (pictured) more popular than Barack Obama and John Kerry.

US Senator Scott Brown, who only months ago was a little-known figure even within the tiny band of Republicans in the state Senate, not only catapulted to national stature with his upset US Senate victory, but is today the most popular officeholder in Massachusetts, according to a Boston Globe poll.

Scott Brown is the Republican who surprised Democrats by winning the Senate seat held by Ted Kennedy since 1962.

After less than five months in Washington, Brown outpolls such Democratic stalwarts as President Obama and US Senator John F. Kerry in popularity, the poll indicates. He gets high marks not only from Republicans, but even a plurality of Democrats views him favorably.
