Blumenthal Up 13% Over Levy. Incumbent at 48.8% in WTNH/The Hill/Emerson College Survey.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal holds a wide lead over Republican Leora Levy in a WTNH/The Hill/Emerson College poll of 1,000 likely voters in his bid for a third term. Levy trails the Democrat by 13%, 48.8% to 36.1%.

Levy appears to have brought no momentum from her August primary win into the general election campaign. The Greenwich Republican received a boost with an endorsement from Donald Trump shortly before the August 9th primary. Levy won 134 of the state’s 169 towns against Themis Klarides and Peter Lumaj. Levy, who serves on the Republican National Committee, has continued to emphasize the dark vision of life in the United States that was an integral element of her appeal to primary voters.

Blumenthal, a familiar figure after more than 30 years in statewide office, 20 as attorney general, has paid scant attention to Levy. With $8 million on hand in August, the Greenwich Democrat was prepared to meet any post-primary surge by Levy, who is partially funding her campaign.
