The C States Turning Red in Senate Races?

Rasmussen just moved Connecticut from "Solid Democrat" to "Leans Democrat" as a result of the first tally taken since Senate-hopeful Republican Linda McMahon won the primary Tuesday. According to the poll, Democrat Richard Blumenthal slipped below the 50% mark against McMahon. Blumenthal, the state's longtime attorney general, picked up 47%  to McMahon's 40% while 5% prefer some other candidate, and 7% remain undecided. This result reflects a 6 point drop in support for Blumenthal as previously held a 56% to 33% lead over McMahon.

Similarly, Rasmussen reports that in Colorado, also fresh off a couple of close primaries, Republican challenger Ken Buck snags 46% of the vote while incumbent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet grabs 41% and 7% remain undecided. The Republican leads by just five points among voters not affiliated with either party.
