The Connecticut Senate race entered a new era this week. Rvelations that Democrat Richard Blumenthal embellished his military record on several occasions, his once-stratospheric public approval rating has taken a huge hit.
"The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Connecticut finds Blumenthal with just a three-point advantage over Linda McMahon, 48% to 45%,'' Rasmussen states on its website. "Two weeks ago, he led the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment by 13 percentage points. The New York Times story broke late Monday; the survey was taken Tuesday evening."
Blumenthal performs better against Republicans Rob Simmons and Peter Schiff, besting them by 11 and 16 percentage points respectively.
