Fifty-nine percent said they "are concerned" that Kerry "missed 70 percent of the votes in the Senate over the last two years."
By a ratio of 51 percent to 31 percent, Massachusetts voters believe President Bush is "more decisive" than Kerry.
Fifty-three percent say Kerry is "not a serious legislator" and more concerned about raising his national profile.
By a better than 3-to-1 ratio, reponders think Kerry would raise taxes if elected president.
By a margin of 70 percent to 15 percent, Kerry's constituents believe his running mate, John Edwards, "is more charismatic" than Kerry.

"The Republicans' frustration is understandable," he said. "They haven't been able to beat him for more than 20 years, and now they hope he'll quit over a cooked poll. It's laughable."
