Linda does well

In the last five polls taken in the connecticut Senate race between Linda mcMahon and Richard Blumenthal, democrat Blumenthal has led by 25%, 23%, 20%, 17%, and 13%. these polls have spanned the period from late may until this week. What this means is that Republican McMahon has been making major inroads into Blumenthal's hold on the electorate. Remember, Blumenthal is known to nearly all in Connecticut. he has been Attorney General for many years and has run many statewide races. McMahon, on the other hand, is in her first race.

McMahon has been particularly effective in introducing herself to the public. she has played up her connection to the WWE, making a joke of her participation, but emphasizing the number of jobs that WWE brings to Connecticut. She has also focused on plans to bring job growth back to the state. Her commercials resonate well with a populace fed up with the usual political nonsense. Blumenthal is in a fight for his life. He has held back so far from going on the air with much of a campaign. he will not be able to wait much longer. If he waits, it will be too late to define McMahon. Indeed, if she succeeds in becoming the "jobs" candidate, the election will be over. A blumenthal defeat would be even more amzing than the Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts. For the first time, however, I see it as a possibility.
