McMahon Cuts Blumenthal Lead To 20 In Connecticut, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds

[ccharles000]

Former wrestling executive Linda McMahon is inching up on Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal and now trails the Democrat 55 - 35 percent in the U.S. Senate race, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

This compares to a 56 - 31 percent Blumenthal lead over McMahon in a May 27 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

Blumenthal tops former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, who has suspended his bid for the GOP nomination but who remains on the ballot, by a similar 54 - 33 percent margin, and beats businessman Peter Schiff 56 - 29 percent.

McMahon leads the Republican primary for U.S. Senate with 45 percent, followed by Simmons with 29 percent and Schiff with 13 percent, with 12 percent undecided.

3. Is she VInce McMahon's wife?

And will her campaign appearances in the fall be "pro-wrestling" style events?

4. To twenty! OMG! Sorry but from everyone I have talked to in CT, including conservatives,

no one here thinks she will win.

6. The internals on the poll seem somewhat to the right.

My understanding about this demographics in the state point towards 60% of the vote for Mr. Blumenthal, is that correct?

[Jennicut]

7. Quinnipiac can have a RW bias at times.

I think Blumenthal can get 60% of the vote, for sure.

8. Based upon his past performance,

he has gotten 70%. I am just restating what has been posted by others.
I will see if I can find those links.
