    Another Poll Shows Democrat Blumenthal with Big Lead in Conn. Senate Race

    Posted:
    01/18/10

    The polls so far seem to be leaving little doubt that Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who became the Democrats' candidate when Christopher Dodd decided not to seek re-election, has a commanding lead over the three Republicans who want to be their party's nominee for the seat.

    Blumenthal holds leads ranging from 17 to 23 points over former Rep. Rob Simmons, former World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon, and economist and commentator Peter Schiff, according to a Research 2000/Daily Kos poll conducted Jan. 11-13.

    Blumenthal led by even bigger margins in a Quinnipiac University poll conducted Jan. 8-12.
