Washington, D.C. – A new poll released over the weekend shows Republican Senate candidate Leora Levy closing in on career politician Dick Blumenthal.  In a state Joe Biden won by 20 points, Levy has closed the gap to 5 points (49-44) with 7% undecided.

Levy continues to lead with Independents, the largest voting bloc in Connecticut. She has a 17-point lead among independent voters (54-37) compared to Blumenthal.

Even Real Clear Politics has shifted this race from “Likely Democrat” to “Lean Democrat.”

Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow: “This poll reflects a growing shift heading toward Election Day, as Connecticut voters reject Biden and Blumenthal’s reckless agenda that is hurting their families and communities. The fact that Blumenthal is under 50 percent this late in the game is incredibly weak for an incumbent Democrat in a blue state where he’s held public office for nearly four decades. Connecticut voters are ready for a change!”
