Connecticut has been a blue state for a long, long time. The issue here is normally not which party will win, but rather what the margin will be. We have not voted for a Republican for president in 24 years. We have had two Democrats as senator for ages except for Lowell Weiker who lost long ago and was a Republican in name only. Only the governor's office has been traded back and forth. We have five Democrats in Congress and lopsided Democrat majorities in the Legislature. That is why the poll out today from Rasmussen is such big news. It polled Connecticut likely voters on the upcoming senate race and found that GOP candidate Linda McMahon is ahead of Democrat Chris Murphy by 49% to 46%.
I know it is just one poll and that things may change before November. Nevertheless, it is a very encouraging sign to see that the GOP candidate is ahead at this point. Who knows, maybe even Romney can win here.
