The latest Rasmussen poll shows the popular AG continues to hold front-runner status. He leads Republican Rob Simmons, 58-32 percent, and Republican Linda McMahon, 60 to 31 percent, according to the survey.
One ominous sign for McMahon: 13 percent of those surveyed view her very favorably while 21 percent view her very unfavorably.
Broker Peter Schiff, who is also running as a Republican, trails Blumenthal 57 to 27 percent, the poll found.
