Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) is leading Republican contender Leora Levy by 13 percentage points, according to a new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey released Wednesday.
The poll found that 49 percent of likely voters in the state said they would vote for Blumenthal if the election for Senate was held today, in comparison to Levy, who received 36 percent support.

Yep—like most college polling, they specialize in forming perceptions in the lead up to elections.

It’s bad, but not nearly that bad! Lots of suburban moms not happy with what’s going on in schools. General dissatisfaction with the economy, though things aren’t exactly tough there yet.
It’s all about the strength of Levy’s campaign and ability to get out the MAGA vote. Blumenthal voters are not energized.

It may be worth noting, though, that New England states can be more or less Puritan. Massachusetts and Vermont are very Puritan and very Democrat and "progressive." Connecticut's a little bit less so. Still very Democrat, but a little more New York-influenced. Rhode Island and New Hampshire don't like Boston and Massachusetts and were settled by people who wanted to escape or didn't much like Bostonians. New Hampshire, the "Live Free or Die State" sometimes votes for Republicans. Rhode Island usually doesn't, but it's still more independent-minded than Massachusetts. Maine is a mix, but still strongly Democrat, particularly Southern Maine. Northern Maine went for Trump, but is outvoted. Excellent summary. (I currently live in The People's Republik of Connecticut)

Blumenthal voters are not energized. They don't need to be energized. The unions, inner cities, clueless but loyal democRATs and the Fraud Machine will enable Blumenthal and all CT democRATs to cruise to victory. Again and again and again...

Dick Morris thinks Blumenthal could be beaten, especially if the NRSC (McConnell) were to provide some support. Dick Morris?? ROTFLOL! ;-D
Blumenthal will win in a landslide. Connecticut is hopeless.

We don’t call it The Peoples Republic of Connecticut without good reason. Now it’s becoming a suburb of NY city.
