Republican Linda McMahon, capitalizing on voter anger with government, has drawn within 3 percentage points of Democrat Richard Blumenthal in the U.S. Senate race, the latest Quinnipiac University Poll has found.
McMahon now trails just 49- 46 percent, compared to the 6-point Blumenthal lead in a Sept. 14 survey of likely voters.
In the latest survey, 4 percent are undecided and 9 percent of voters who name a candidate say they could change their mind by Election Day. Blumenthal leads 89-9 percent among Democrats. McMahon leads 80-16 percent among Republicans. Independent voters shifted from 47-46 percent for Blumenthal on Sept. 14 to 49-44 percent for McMahon today.
In a gender reversal, women back Blumenthal 56-39 percent while men back McMahon 52-44 percent.
The 33 percent of likely voters who say they are “angry” with the federal government support McMahon 78-20 percent.
“With five weeks to go, the Connecticut Senate race is very close,” said poll director Douglas Schwartz. “Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is ahead by only a statistically insignificant 3 points. Blumenthal has to be concerned about Linda McMahon’s momentum. He can hear her footsteps as she closes in on him.”
We have done our Homework!! FINALLY after 20 years of unscutinized bluster from Mr. Blumenthal . . . through solid due-diligence . . . find that he is not a rolex, but some $1.95 rolax-fraud. The stuff he has pulled on people of CT is dispicable and belongs in some back alley sale.
Fooled us once for a total of 20 years. Shame on Dick.
Vote for him . . . and SHAME ON YOU CT
Let’s hope that after 2 November, we will have heard the last of Dick Blumenthal. He is a disgrace to the State of Connecticut, and an insult to our veterans.
He is not only dishonest, he is also dumb.
Before voting, we need to do our homework on the issues that are on the forefront of political campaigns, instead of blindly believing in soundbites spewed by the media of our favorite political persuasion. We need be more diligent in investigating and questioning the truthfulness of candidates’s claims, such as the relentless messages from the Linda McMahon who has already spent $19 million to buy the Senate seat from Connecticut. Before voting, we owe it to ourselves to get the facts through the lens of reason instead of beliefs.
