CT Senate: Murphy leads by four but lots of undecideds per new poll

[WI_DEM]

With nearly 30 percent of voters still undecided, Republican Linda McMahon and Democrat Chris Murphy are locked in a statistical dead heat in the race for U.S. Senate, according to a new University of Connecticut-Hartford Courant poll.

The poll showed Murphy ahead, 37 percent to 33 percent, but with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points, the race is basically a tie, poll Director Jennifer Dineen said.

The poll found that Democrats have more undecided voters than Republicans, that there are no significant gender gaps and that there are pronounced geographical pockets of support for each candidate:

-- Still undecided are 17 percent of Republicans, 27 percent of Democrats and 48 percent of unaffiliated voters. "Republicans, as a party, are more decisive than their Democratic counterparts'' in the race, Dineen said. "Chris Murphy may be known in his congressional district, but he's not necessarily well known around the state.''

I guess the good news is that more undecideds are Dems than Republicans.

1. I am actually surprised that Murphy is ahead.

He has been getting pounded here by McMahon and she is as low ball as you can go. The upside is that not many people actually like her.
He is getting help now from the Democratic Senatorial Committee.
