A poll released in September 2012 by the Public Policy Polling showed that Brown had a five-point lead over Warren. However, later that month, Warren earned national exposure as one of the speakers at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, gaining the favor of many critics as well as a slight lead in the polls. At the convention, she heavily discussed the need for economic and government reforms. "America's middle class is getting hammered,

and Washington is rigged to work for the big guy," Warren told ABC News.

Warren won the election in November 2012, defeating Brown by a small margin and earning her first term in the U.S. Senate. To Massachusetts residents, Warren states on her website, "I won't just be your senator, I will also be your champion."
