The numbers: Blumenthal 47%, McMahon 40%. The survey of likely voters has a ±4.5% margin of error. In the previous poll from a month ago, Blumenthal led by 53%-40%. Interestingly, McMahon hasn’t seen a conventional bump in her own support from winning this past Tuesday’s primary — she’s stayed in the same place, while Blumenthal has declined a bit.

The TPM Poll Average shows Blumenthal ahead by 49.9%-39.9%.
