Murphy ahead by 6% against McMahon

"After emphasizing women's issues and increasing his support among females, Democrat Chris Murphy has pulled ahead of Republican Linda McMahon by 6 percentage points in the U.S. Senate race in the latest University of Connecticut/Hartford Courant poll.

Among likely voters, Murphy leads McMahon, 44 percent to 38 percent, with 17 percent of voters still undecided."

High # of undecided but the last 3 polls done on this race show Murphy in the lead. I think this being CT, the vote will go his way in the end.

I think McMahon has turned a lot of people off with her constant negative ads. Lots of people complaining that it is overkill. It is literally 4 ads per tv program at night. I have lived in Connecticut my entire life and have never seen the amount of ads from any candidate like this. It's too much.

Emergency rape is so much worse than consensual rape. Dumbass McMahon.

It's been a close race for the past month, but Murphy has been ahead in all the recent polls.

I don't think McMahon has led in a poll since the Quinnipiac one in late August.

And Nate Silver currently projects Murphy will win.
