A statistical dead heat.
"With five weeks to go, the Connecticut Senate race is very close,'' poll Director Doug Schwartz said in a statement announcing the results. Blumenthal "is ahead by only a statistically insignificant 3 points. Blumenthal has to be concerned about Linda McMahon's momentum. He can hear her footsteps as she closes in on him.''
Blumenthal led by 6 percentage points in the Sept. 14 Q poll.
Schwartz says voter anger with the federal government is helping to boost McMahon.
