Blumenthal's Lead Dwindles

Dick Blumenthal's lead has now dwindled to five points over Republican Linda McMahon in a poll conducted after their third and final debate. Blumenthal grabbed 51% of the vote to McMahon's 46% while 1% prefer someone else and 3% are undecided. This poll is surprising considering that just a week ago, Blumenthal had a lead of 11 points over McMahon.

Perhaps the lead is due to more negative press regarding his prosecutorial record. Regardless, while the  news is encouraging, McMahon still has an uphill battle. We're rooting for her all the way as a win in CT would relieve the pressure to take IL and WV to win the Senate.
