Junk.

Uh, no.

Scottie's smoking the good sh**t.

This. Though I do wish those numbers were real.

[You kip if you want to...]

I'd love to meet the kind've person who wants Linda McMahon representing them.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Either Rasmussen - and a lot of other pollsters - are losing the plot completely as of late, or a wave election is coming for the Republicans.

More likely the former, unfortunately.

My friend would be very happy to know about this, but Scotty is obviously trolling.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Because she lost by 12% in 2010, it's fair to say she ain't winning now.

Me, for instance. 43% of Connecticut residents would rather have her than Richard Blumenthal.

Murphy is a weaker candidate than Blumenthal, though...

That said, the 'reality' is this race is probably a very narrow Murphy lead, like Quinnipiac's last poll. That McMahon will do better this time around than in 2010 is almost a certainty, even PPP is showing that.

I'm not sure. Didn't McMahon plant a completely bogus hit piece against Blumenthal last time?

But to want her, in any positive sense...?

You could argue that about any politician. But there's no evidence McMahon is viewed as so especially bad by anybody. Leftist netizens just don't like her campaign spending.

[TheGlobalizer]

Anyone have any insight on the internals here?  Partisan conjecture is cute but I'm more curious whether there is an actual flaw rather than just an apparent one (which there is).

Can't see inside as not a subscriber.

I wish.

There's been a lot of wacky polls as of late.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Hahahahahaha.

But to want her, in any positive sense...?

There's nothing objectionable about her, really, except for her ties to the WWE. (Which, admittedly, is a fairly strong negative amongst likely voters.) She's fairly moderate, has a decent grasp on the issues, and there's little to indicate she'd make a bad Senator.

[Vosem]

I also want to note Connecticut is one of the few states where it's reasonable to argue Republicans will do better in 2012 than 2010. In 2010, Democrats took total control of the state government, both the legislature and the Governor's Mansion, and the figures associated with that control, such as Chris Donovan and Dan Malloy, are very unpopular. In a warning signal to Dems, both Democrats and Republicans held competitive primaries in the 5th congressional district but more votes were cast in the Republican primary.

All that being said, I think right now Murphy is ahead, but only by 1-3 points or so.

[Zioneer]

Man, what's up with the wacky polls lately? Are pollsters all just having a giant party where they do drugs and go "Hey. Hey man. We should have a poll where Linda McMahon is leading. Whoooa."

The Vietnam service thing?

Yes, it was that. McMahon fed that story to the New York Times, and the Times reported it without changing a word.

The New York Times being a strongly Republican news source?

And what more to offer does McMahon have? I'm not saying this to be aggressive or anything; I'm just curious.
