Scott Brown is within striking distance of picking off another Democratic-held Senate seat, as a CNN poll released Thursday finds him in a dead heat with Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. In the survey, Shaheen leads 49 percent to 47 percent, putting the race within the poll's 3.5 percentage point margin of error.

After trailing by double digits early on, Brown has dramatically closed the gap over the past few months. Shaheen still holds a small lead in poll aggregators, but the trend line is not favorable to her.
