CT politics poll, including the Senate race

Rasmussen conducted a poll on the state of politics in CT. Rob Simmons is still leading Dodd by a considerable margin - 49% to 39%. And even those who are largely unknown around the state (Sam Caligiuri & Peter Schiff) did fairly well in head-to-head matchups.

Schiff 40% vs. Dodd 42%

Caligiuri 40% vs. Dodd 43%

Probably the most troubling issue for Dodd though was his "unfavorable" rating of 59%... with only 2% of respondents offering no opinion. Frankly, I don't see how Dodd is going to recover from that.

I still think the Democratic Party would be wise to ask our senior Senator to just walk away quietly, if they want to keep the seat blue.
