Scott Brown and DADT: Newhouse Poll

MassEquality (PDF) has the results of a recent poll regarding Senator Brown and the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (HT: David Bernstein and Dee Dee Edmondson).  The poll comes from Neil Newhouse of Public Opinion Strategies.

It boils down to:

Massachusetts likes Scott Brown.

Massachusetts supports repealing DADT.

Massachusetts is likely to support a Senator who votes to repeal DADT.

However, Massachusetts expects Brown to vote to keep DADT.

My take: Brown can benefit from supporting the repeal of DADT, but not supporting the repeal won't hurt him in 2012.  So, you know, he's probably not going to support repealing DADT.
