CT-Sen: Blumenthal Continues to Crush, McMahon Jumps Ahead of Simmons in New Q-Poll

[ccharles000]

Quinnipiac (3/9-15, registered voters, 1/8-12 in parens):

Richard Blumenthal (D): 62 (62)
Rob Simmons (R): 26 (27)
Undecided: 10 (10)

Richard Blumenthal (D): 61 (64)
Linda McMahon (R): 28 (23)
Undecided: 10 (11)

Richard Blumenthal (D): 64 (66)
Peter Schiff (R): 21 (19)
Undecided: 13 (14)
(MoE: ±2.6%)

And the GOP primary:

Rob Simmons (R): 34 (37)
Linda McMahon (R): 44 (27)
Peter Schiff (R): 9 (4)
Undecided: 12 (28)
(MoE: ±5%)

Let me ask you this: If you were Rob Simmons, why would you possibly want to stay in this race? Don't get me wrong; I'm glad to see him duke it out against McMahon's millions instead of making more winnable runs for Governor or his own old Congressional seat, but staying on this course makes little sense if he actually is planning on winning something in November.

1. Simmons is toast. He wore out his welcome in 2006 and lost to Joe Courtney.

Linda McMahon will be easy to beat. Not too many people here take her seriously with the wrestling background. I think it will be an easy pickup for Blumenthal and the Dems.

2. Marginal probability that both your primary opponent and GE opponent will have scandals

4. scAMWAY's Dick DeVos spend

60 Million + against Granholm (D-Michigan) 2006 and lost by 16 points.

5. Simmons has got to feel sick--he was the new Senator from CT

until Dodd quit and Blumenthal became the nominee (presumptively).
