Isakson Looks Headed for Easy Win
A new SurveyUSA poll in Georgia finds Sen. Johnny Isakson (R) way ahead of Michael Thurmond (D) in the U.S. Senate race, 56% to 34%.
Poll Closing Times
Today is the last big primary day of the year. Polls close at 7 p.m. ET in New Hampshire, at 8 p.m. ET in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., and at 9 p.m. ET in New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin.
Blumenthal Leads By Just Six in Connecticut
A new Quinnipiac poll in Connecticut finds Richard Blumenthal (D) leads Linda McMahon (R) by just six points in the U.S. Senate race among likely voters, 51% to 45%. Another 3% are undecided and 11% of those who do name a candidate say they could change their mind by Election Day.
Said pollster Douglas Schwartz: “This is now a 6 point race among likely voters. With seven weeks to go and lots of money to be spent, anything can happen. For Blumenthal, an elected official with a 70 percent approval rating, this race is surprisingly close. It is not that voters are wild about McMahon; her favorability rating is tepid. And many of her supporters are more anti-Blumenthal.”
