Seven percent (7%) prefer some other candidate in this contest, and 11% are undecided. Those figures are a slight improvement for Simmons since September. <\/p><p>The newest Republican in the race, Linda McMahon, the ex-CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, earns 44% of the vote to Dodd&rsquo;s 38%. Eight percent (8%) opt for another candidate, with nine percent (9%) not sure. <\/p><p>Long-shot candidate Peter Shiff, the widely-known president of Euro Pacific Capital, is essentially even with Dodd and holds a one-point edge, 40% to 39%. In their race, eight percent (8%) like some other candidate, and 14% are undecided. <\/p><\/blockquote><p>Note - McMahon, while not a \"movement\" Libertarian like Schiff, is a strong fiscal conservative and has a relatively libertarian view on cultural matters.<\/p><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/a57f7_7828681836623105417-4734379313295215278?l=libertarianrepublican.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Rasmussen numbers out of Connecticut.
