CONNECTICUT: Peter Schiff supporters more likely to support Linda McMahon in general election

From Eric Dondero:

Supporters of libertarian Republican for US Senate Peter Schiff appear ready to shift to fiscally conservative/socially moderate Linda McMahon for the fall election. Interestingly, they lean significantly more McMahon than supporters of moderate Republican Rob Simmons.

A new poll finds McMahon way out front of the GOP field with 47% to 30% for Simmons, and 14% for Schiff.

Internals from Quinnipiac:

If Linda McMahon wins the Republican primary for United States Senator, how likely are you to support her in the general election in November?

Among Simmons Supporters

•Definitely 26%
•Probably 19%
•Maybe 26%
•Will not support 29%

Among Schiff Supporters

•Definitely 47%
•Probably 13%
•Maybe 18%
•Will not support 21%

The poll also shows McMahon making up significant ground against Democrat Richard Blumenthal. Continuing:

US SENATE – CONNECTICUT (Quinnipiac)
Richard Blumenthal (D) 50%
Linda McMahon (R) 40%

McMahon had been behind by as much as 20%.
