The new Rasmussen poll of the Connecticut Senate race shows Democratic state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal pulling away strongly from Republican Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment.
The numbers: Blumenthal 56%, McMahon 43%. The survey of likely voters has a ±4% margin of error. In the previous Rasmussen poll from two weeks ago, Blumenthal had a narrower lead of 51%-46%.
As a result of this poll, Rasmussen has now changed its rating of this race from “Leans Democrat” to “Solid Democrat.”
The TPM Poll Average gives Blumenthal a lead of 52.3%-43.6%.
