Rasmussen reported Tuesday that Senator Chris Dodd is polling thirteen points behind former Republican Congressman Rob Simmons, six points behind ex-World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon, and one point (statistically tied) behind businessman and former Ron Paul advisor Peter Schiff in his 2010 re-election campaign. The same polls taken in September showed Dodd ten points behind Simmons and three points ahead of Schiff. Politico suggested Wednesday that the NRSC might be laying low on the Dodd attacks so that he does not get pushed out of the race.
