A new Quinnipiac
poll shows Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) gaining ground against
former Rep. Rob Simmons, the frontrunner for the Republican
nomination for Senate next year. Dodd leads the other Republicans
in head-to-head matchups. The Washington Post’s Chris
Cillizza has
more. Although it could be seen as a sign that Dodd is
down but not out, my sense is that these numbers are the sweet
spot for the Connecticut GOP: Dodd is polling just well enough to
deter a serious Democratic primary challenger but not well enough
to beat Simmons. In fact, he barely beats and fails to break 42
percent of the vote against any of the lesser known Republican
challengers. Linda McMahon was not included in the poll.
