New CT Senate Poll

Reversing a months-long decline in his lead in the Connecticut U.S. Senate race, Democratic State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has opened up a 54 – 43 percent likely voter lead over Republican former wrestling executive Linda McMahon, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

This compares to a 49 – 46 percent Blumenthal lead in a September 28 likely voter survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll.

As a side note, the pronunciation guide in the press release is amusing.

I have noticed that they include that pronunciation guide in every poll………

And yet I still hear talking heads on MSNBC and Fox call it the “Qunnipak” poll

“Reversing a months-long decline in his lead”

As a resident of the state I think this was largely myth generated by QU pollng. Over the past couple of weeks three polls have appeared showing Bloomie 12 to 15 points ahead so QU is really just falling in line. Absent the proverbial live boy or dead girl this race was never even close. The governor’s race maybe but not this one.
