About this Poll
A recent survey1 of Connecticut voters conducted May 19 - 20 shows that despite the efforts of
Linda McMahon’s campaign, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has withstood the attacks of
the past week very well. Blumenthal maintains strong standing and holds a wide margin over
McMahon as a result of his strong record and deep connection to the people of Connecticut,
who know him best. His deep roots and connection with people in Connecticut make him a very
tough guy to knock down. He won a resounding victory at his party’s convention this past
Friday, and the recent survey shows broad support among the electorate.
