→Vote analysis: Spelling, grammar, and general cleanup, typos fixed: Brown’s → Brown's
In the end, Brown won chiefly because he won unaffiliated voters by a 73% to 25% margin. He picked up 23% of the vote from Democrats—in an election in which where 53% of the voters were Democrats, 21% were Republicans and 26% were not affiliated with either party. Coakley also barely carried a usually reliable Democratic constituency. Union workers went for her by just six points, 52% to 46%.<ref>see [http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/massachusetts/brown_wins_stunning_victory_in_massachusetts "Brown Wins Stunning Victory in Massachusetts"]</ref>

Rasmussen polls show 56% of Massachusetts voters named health care as the most important issue. Coakley actually won among those voters by a 53% to 46% margin, as those Democrats who wants Obamacare to pass voted for her. One key to Brown’s victory is that 41% Strongly Opposed the health care plan while just 25% Strongly Favored it.
