Leora Levy, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Connecticut, is closing the gap and is nearly tied with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D), according to the Connecticut Examiner’s latest poll.

The poll found that Blumenthal has a narrow lead over Levy, at 49 percent, compared to Levy’s 44 percent. An additional seven percent of Connecticut voters remain undecided with just over three weeks until midterm elections.

Levy’s campaign said the latest data reflects the “reality of this race.”

Levy campaign spokesman Tim Saler said:

It took until mid-October, but finally a public survey reflects the reality of this race: Leora Levy is in a margin-of-error, neck-and-neck race with Dick Blumenthal, a career politician with a thirty-seven-year head start. Dick Blumenthal is under 50 percent despite spending more than $5.3 million dollars on advertising since the middle of June.

Wesleyan University professor Logan Dancey was surprised at Levy’s performance in the latest poll, saying he “would’ve expected a bigger lead for Blumenthal.”

They're long shots, but I would LOVE to see both Patty Murray and DICK Blumenthal removed from their cushy Senate seats.

Trump was winning CT on election night until the late ballot dumps. Nobody ever talks about that. VA too.

[imabadboy99]

How a guy widely know as a stolen valor perp. can be elected is just incredibly sad. I hope his opponent is running non-stop ads bashing him for it.

And no mention of Blumenthal lying about his military service? I’m sure that will still matter with some people, even in Connecticut.

Time to send “I almost went to Vietnam” back to Vietnam. I heard it’s like Disneyland now.

Dick, the Vietnam vet who never went to Vietnam, the poodle boy like John Kerry Heinz

VA makes sense as Youngkin won.

[rktman]

Butt, butt, butt Viet Nam vet and stuff. 😎👍 One ‘dick’ I’d wouldn’t mind seeing cut off, finally.

I think there are some FReeper ex-pats there...

CT Democrats have massive voter fraud ready to go in Hartford, Waterbury and Bridgeport if needed late at night.

This is like playing a rigged poker game, and the dumb CT Republican leadership keeps wondering who the mark is when of course it is them.

“Democracy” in CT is heads they win, tails we lose.

Blumenthal is a first class puke

It CT turns red, then the Democrat part is doomed. Supposedly there are nine house seats in play in NY State. That’s another indicator that things are really going south for Rats.

If your local Senate race isn't inspiring enough to contribute to, Send $$ to Tiffany Smiley in WA State.

You mean that CT voters are finally waking up to that Vietnam Vet. Imposter Blumenthal?

[George from New England]

It’s clowns like Blumenthal that cause my clan to move to Florida. Left CT in 2006.

[Dan in Wichita]

Blumenthal is a stomach-churning creep. He is perhaps the most despicable member of the Senate, even lower than Magpie Hirono and Patty Murray.

To see him loose on Election Night would be like drinking sweet nectar.

Expect the media to call this race quickly on Election Night in Blumenthal's favor if there is even the remotest sign of victory for him. This is to help encourage Dems to the polls in time zones to the west.

If they don't call this one quickly, that's a signal it will be a very long night for the American communist party.

oil is going back up, stock market is collapsing, and inflation keeps rising.

The democrats broke the world with their environmental nuttiness and covid over reaction.

[bigfootbob]

Thank you, sage advice.

[I want the USA back]

I would love to see Da Nang Dick sent back to CT to retire.

How does being up by 5 points equate to being “nearly tied?”
