Did Mitch McConnell pull $10 million of Republican money out of the Arizona Senate race to save a GOP candidate in the Nutmeg State?
The reason we're asking: Quinnipiac University just released a poll that showed Republicans getting creamed in Connecticut, thanks to women who are furious about Roe.
"An overwhelming majority of women have abandoned the top of the Republican ticket...producing huge leads for Governor Ned Lamont and US Senator Richard Blumenthal," The CT Mirror reports. Both Democrats are ahead by 17 points. (Oh, and Trump isn't helping.)
So, this is interesting for a couple of reasons. While Leora Levy, the GOP candidate for Senate, is an off-the-wall, Trump-loving nutcase, Bob Stefanowski, running against Lamont, is pretty establishment-y — just the kind of "reasonable" candidate that Republicans used to hoodwink people into supporting. The fact that he's down by the same margin as Levy tells us one thing: The only GOP voters in Connecticut right now are hard-core extremists. Middle-of-the-roadsters and center-righters have deserted the party. There's no ticket-splitting here.
Does this Connecticut poll portend anything in New York? Vermont? Massachusetts? Maine? Rhode Island? Does this mean a blue wave will crash over New England in November?
No wonder Mitch is worried. We cats PURR.
