Warning Signs for Elizabeth Warren

February 28, 2020 at 6:34 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Politico: “Warren is at risk of losing her home state, the latest indignity in her long slide in the polls in her own backyard. As recently as October, the two-term senator held a 20-percentage point lead over Sanders, according to a WBUR poll. According to the latest public poll, she trails him by one point. Now, in the run-up to the March 3 primary, Sanders is going all in on his bid to pick off Massachusetts, culminating in a four-day music and canvassing festival in Worcester that begins Friday.”

Meanwhile, Politico reports a super PAC backing Warren will spend $9 million on a Super Tuesday ad buy.
