Rasmussen: CONNECTICUT - SENATE (Murphy +6)

Looks like Murphy is breaking into a good lead in CT now that even Rasmussen has him well up on McMahon. The worst may be over for him. This is a 5-point increase for Murphy from the previous poll (+1).

Democratic Congressman Chris Murphy moves to his biggest lead yet over Republican businesswoman Linda McMahon in Connecticut’s U.S. Senate race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Connecticut Voters shows Murphy with 51% of the vote to McMahon’s 45%. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

Murphy got outside help. Bill Clinton was here on Sunday. Saw his speech on C-span last night and it was terrific. Funny and intelligent. I am feeling good about this race right now.

is behind because she's just dumped a pile of cash on some more really stupid full of shit attack ads.

So far it's following the same script as two years ago when she got her ass handed to her by Blumenthal. I'm cautiously optimistic that in just over a week we may never again need to hear the name Linda McMahon.

Couldn't be happier!!!
So very tired of Linda's commercials.
She was so sure she could buy the seat.
