A new poll from Suffolk University/7NEWS finds Sen. Scott Brown (R) and Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren (D) in a dead heat, 48 percent to 47 percent. Suffolk last polled the race in February and found Brown had a nine-point lead.
Only five percent of voters are undecided.
Seventy-two percent of likely voters were aware of the controversy concerning Warrens heritage and whether she used it to advance her career. Browns campaign has been hammering the issue for weeks, calling on Warren to release her academic records.
Of those who were aware of the story, 49 percent said Warren was telling the truth about being part Native American; 28 percent said she was not telling the truth; and 23 percent werent sure. Forty-one percent thought Warren benefited by listing herself as a minority in law school directories, while 45 percent said she did not.
But 69 percent of likely voters said that Warrens Native American heritage listing is not a significant story, while 27 percent said that it is.

The Warren camp has tried to ride out the ancestry controversy by ignoring it, but even commenters in liberal outlets like The New Yorker and MSNBC’s Ed Schultz have urged Ms. Warren to answer questions about her background and motives more fully and forthrightly.
“The campaign has bought some time,” said Mr. Paleologos of the Suffolk poll. “But that’s not to say the issue won’t bubble up again. Loose ends don’t work well in politics."

great, another lying nut job in our government..just what we need
I would say the fact that she has to pull even isn't a good sign for her. I get the impression that there will be alot more revealed about her before the election that's going to hurt her.

and no doubt the rightwingnuts will make it up if they can't find anything to reveal.
I'm definitely a fan of Elizabeth Warren.
But why is this heritage subject an issue? Does it affect her ability to function as a successful senator?
