Polls show a tight race for another Dem Senator

 Breitbart:

Leora Levy, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Connecticut, is closing the gap and is nearly tied with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D), according to the Connecticut Examiner’s latest poll. 

The poll found that Blumenthal has a narrow lead over Levy, at 49 percent, compared to Levy’s 44 percent. An additional seven percent of Connecticut voters remain undecided with just over three weeks until midterm elections. 

Levy’s campaign said the latest data reflects the “reality of this race.”

Levy campaign spokesman Tim Saler said:

It took until mid-October, but finally a public survey reflects the reality of this race: Leora Levy is in a margin-of-error, neck-and-neck race with Dick Blumenthal, a career politician with a thirty-seven-year head start. Dick Blumenthal is under 50 percent despite spending more than $5.3 million dollars on advertising since the middle of June.

Wesleyan University professor Logan Dancey was surprised at Levy’s performance in the latest poll, saying he “would’ve expected a bigger lead for Blumenthal.”

Connecticut Democrats like Blumenthal are being dragged down by President Joe Biden’s disastrous economic agenda, according to Dancey. 

“Inflation and general pessimism about the state of the economy creates some real headwinds for Democrats, and that extends into a state like Connecticut,” Dancey said.

The poll found that Biden’s approval rating among Connecticut voters sits at just 43 percent, with 53 percent disapproving of Biden’s job performance.

It would be good for America to see Levy win this race.  She is at least competitive at this point.  A Republican winning in Connecticut would probably mean a national landslide at work.
