Blumenthal Widens Lead in Connecticut


A new Quinnipiac poll in Connecticut shows Richard Blumenthal (D) has opened up a double-digit lead once again over Linda McMahon (R) for U.S. Senate, 54% to 43%, among likely voters.

Said pollster Douglas Schwartz: "After McMahon had climbed to within 3 points of Blumenthal, he has stopped her momentum and increased his lead by 8 points in two weeks. While September wasn't very good for Blumenthal, perhaps like Reggie Jackson, he could be called 'Mr. October.' Fueled by a surge in support from women, Democrats and independents, Blumenthal has his best poll numbers since the start of the fall campaign."

3. Way to go, Blumenthal!

This is great news. The Senate is weird enough these days without a McMahon there to turn it into a WWE-style circus.

4. I live in NY and see McMahon's ad nauseum ads and this is great news!

5. I'd like to know what's up with Quin's model

didn't they have Blumenthal and McMahon in a dead-heat just two weeks ago?

on edit: I should read the whole thing, but I'd still like to know if there were any polling differences between the polls.
