Markey edges Brown in 2014 matchupScott Brown would face a tough uphill climb to reclaim a Senate seat in 2014, according to The MassINC Polling Group’s quarterly poll.
If the 2014 Senate election were held now, 43 percent of registered voters would favor Markey, compared to 38 percent for Brown.
This is a reversal from a December 2012 poll when Brown led Markey by 18 points.
