McMahon keeps on closing in on Blumenthal -- an update

Since my last post on this senate race, a new poll has been released which finds McMahon trailing Blumenthal by only 3%. This is the closest that the race has ever been. If blumenthal keeps fading like this, he will soon be history and McMahon will be going to Washingotn as the senator from Connecticut. Given the lackluster campaign that Blumenthal is running, this is not surprising. His campaign is focused on what he did in the past in other offices but it does not really present any view on what needs to be done going forward. McMahon has been pushing her ideas for how to get jobs into Connecticut. Interestingly, the biggest drop in Blumenthal's support has coincided with McMahon publicizing Blumenthal's support for a national energy tax that would raise the average home heating bill by $1000, raise gasoline by close to 70 cents per gallon and cost 12,500 jobs in the state of Connecticut. Blumenthal has had no answer to this ad. I do not think he has an answer. The more the truth gets out, the worse Blumenthal does.
