Shays Would Make Connecticut Race Competitive

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Connecticut finds Rep. Chris Murphy (D) leading Chris Shays (R) in the U.S. Senate race, 43% to 39%, and beating Linda McMahon (R), 50% to 43%.

However, Shays would beat Susan Bysiewicz (D) if she was the Democratic nominee, 48% to 37%.

Though primary numbers were not released, they show McMahon “has a large lead” in the GOP primary contest with Shays.
