Has anyone seen these GREAT CT-Sen poll numbers?

[joeybee12]

Quinnipiac has its first numbers (1,430 RVs, 1/8-12, MoE +/- 2.6%) on the Connecticut Senate race since Chris Dodd (D) announced he would not seek re-election last week. The results show why Democrats were so eager to see Attorney General Richard Blumenthal jump in to replace the embattled incumbent.

General Election Matchups
Blumenthal 62 -- Simmons 27 -- Und 10
Blumenthal 64 -- McMahon 23 -- Und 11
Blumenthal 66 -- Schiff 19 -- Und 14

Consider that in a November poll, Dodd trailed former Rep. Rob Simmons 49-38 and former WWE CEO Linda McMahon 43-41. Suddenly that GOP primary doesn't look worth winning, but here's how that contest shapes up:

Primary Election Matchup
Simmons 37 (+9)
McMahon 27 (+10)
Schiff 4 (-1)
Und 28 (-8)

1. Excellent. Dodd did the right thing. Now on to MA! nt

[joeybee12]

He did...I give Dodd credit for doing the right thing...nice to know a politician

can put aside his ego for a while.

2. I really wish Blumenthal had run for the Senate in 2006. Lieberman

would have been creamed in the primaries, and would NEVER have won as an Independent Rethug.

:mad:

[joeybee12]

3. Yeah, but his career is over...his latets kiss my ass ploy jumped the

shark...I bet he doesn't even run in 2012.

[madinmaryland]

6. Liebermann?

??

[joeybee12]

7. Yup. n/t

[gateley]

9. Agree. He's not behaving like someone with an eye toward a future election.

He just doesn't give a damn.

Good riddance.

10. My father, a life-long Dem always supported Holy Joe, saying even after 2006

it was the Dems who abandoned him, yada, yada, yada, but with his HCR ploy, my father finally ahd enough.

[gateley]

11. Good for your dad. That's hard -- losing faith in someone you once trusted. nt

[joeybee12]

13. Yeah, and he's 90, but he finally figured it out...n/t

[madinmaryland]

12. As a former CT resident of over 20 years, I only voted for LIEberman

in one election. I voted for Weicker in 1988. In 2000, it was a choice between LIEberman and the pedophile. I voted for LIEberman.

[joeybee12]

14. Lieberman wasn't Liarberman in 2000...not yet...

...I still think he was a d**k at that time, though.

[madinmaryland]

15. He was a jerk in 1988, also. I had always liked Weicker for his

Watergate hearing roll in the Senate. The Sleeping Bear ad is what I am referring to. Couldn't find it on the googles.

[joeybee12]

16. Weiker was way more liberal than Holy Joe ever was....

...and also had much less "D" in his DNA make-up.

4. Excellent! nt

5. Dodd is OK by me.

:patriot:

8. What is Blumenthal's view on expanding the war to Yemen and increasing troops in Afghanistan?

17. If he is as good as his poll numbers, excellent news.
