I am so happy that someone finally polled that - as you can't prove that higher favorables mean that.

-John Kerry (50/38) and Deval Patrick (48/37) both have solid if not spectacular approval ratings. Kerry can at least claim bragging rights over seat mate Scott Brown- 46% say Kerry's their favorite Senator to 39% for his junior colleague.

Given how negative almost EVERYONE in Congress, the President, and the Republican candidates are polling, Kerry's and Patrick's number look pretty good.

In the earlier release, in addition to showing Warren leading by 5 points, Brown's numbers are (45/42) - which was an improvement from last fall. However, he is seen by fewer as independent. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/PPP_Release_MA_320.pdf
