The new Rasmussen poll of the Connecticut Senate race finds Democratic state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal’s lead over Republican former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon shrinking.

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%.
