Reporting from Los Angeles — A challenge by an untraditional Republican outsider has turned the U.S. Senate race in Connecticut, one of the bluest of blue states, surprisingly close, according to the latest poll released Tuesday.
Atty. Gen. Richard Blumenthal, the Democrat, leads former wrestling executive Linda McMahon by 51% to 45%, according to the Quinnipiac University poll. Three percent said they were undecided.
From September 8 – 12, Quinnipiac University surveyed 875 likely voters The margin of error is plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
“This is now a six-point race among likely voters. With seven weeks to go and lots of money to be spent, anything can happen,” said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz.
“For Atty. Gen. Blumenthal, an elected official with a 70% approval rating, this race is surprisingly close," he stated. “It is not that voters are wild about McMahon; her favorability rating is tepid. And many of her supporters are more anti-Blumenthal.”

If Commienpiac has McMahon at minus six that means she’s up by three or four....
Maybe she’ll put Blumenthal into a figure four leg lock?
Well, except for the fact that McMahon is pro-abortion, I like most of her positions on the other issues. At least she’s not a flaming liberal like Mike Castle in Delaware is.
Wooh!
(Ric Flair reference)
She’s the best R we can get out of CT right now, so I hope she wins.
If Blumenthal loses...WOW...it is going to be a BIG night for the GOP in November!
Just saw that Zero is coming to CT to do a few $$$events and appearances for Blumie..That should put Linda over the top..
Remember Blumey fought valiantly at the battles of Bing Bong
and Slam Bang!
The thing about the DE race is that it’s for an open seat. That means the new senator will be seated immediately, NOV. 3.
That means that it’s even more important to have someone who will strongly oppose Obama’s possibly insane lame duck Congress strategy. That would be O’Donnell, not Castle, who already has demonstrated a propensity to vote with the Dems (such as by supporting the impeachment of Bush). Ugh.
“That means that it’s even more important to have someone who will strongly oppose Obama’s possibly insane lame duck Congress strategy. That would be O’Donnell”
That is exactly right. I don’t even know why Castle calls himself a Republican.
I pray to God that Christine O’Donnell wins the primary today. Please, in the Name of Jesus, let it be so!
The McMahon mail never stops in Ct, & and That’s just Fine.
Blumenthal got caught with Harry Reid grubbing Money from Lawyers in Canada, but lying his ride onto Vietnam Vets coat tails, no, no, & No Way.
I hope Linda’s got enough to buy it if that’s what it takes.
Another nice display of NON-BIASED reporting from the Times. What a surprise, huh!!
Where do all those folding chairs come from, anyway?
Must be trouble in Ct.
Just saw that Zero is coming to CT
I’m hoping for the Sleeper hold.
