FOR RELEASE: OCTOBER 24, 2012
MURPHY UP AS McMAHON FADES IN CONNECTICUT SENATE RACE,
QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS;
WOMEN PROPEL OBAMA TO BIG LEAD OVER ROMNEY
Women and older voters are shifting away from Linda McMahon, the Republican candidate in
Connecticuts U.S. Senate race, giving U.S. Rep. Christopher Murphy, the Democrat, a 49 43
percent likely voter lead, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
This compares to the results of an October 4 survey by the independent Quinnipiac
(KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University, showing McMahon with 48 percent to Murphy with 47 percent.
In todays results, women back Murphy 52 38 percent, compared to 50 44 percent
October 4. Men are at 50 46 for McMahon compared to 52 45 percent earlier.
Voters over 55 years old shift from a 48 48 percent split to 51 42 percent for Murphy.
A total of 62 percent of Connecticut likely voters have a strongly unfavorable or
somewhat unfavorable opinion of this Senate race in general.
The race remains fluid as 11 percent of Murphy voters and 14 percent of McMahon
voters say they might change their mind in the next 13 days.
Its dj vu all over again in the Connecticut Senate race. As we hit the final stretch of
the campaign, Linda McMahon is beginning to fade, as she did in her 2010 run against Richard
Blumenthal, said Douglas Schwartz, PhD, director of the Quinnipiac University poll.
Has she hit her ceiling? She took 43 percent of the vote in 2010, losing by 12 points to
Blumenthal. Two weeks before the election, she is back at 43 percent.

Quinnipiac University Poll/October 24, 2012 page 2
Connecticut likely voters say 47 42 percent that Murphy better understands their
economic problems. If she wins, McMahon would favor the wealthy over the middle class,
voters say 55 36 percent. Murphy would favor the middle class, voters say 70 14 percent.
Murphy has taken the lead in the Senate race in part because more voters now believe he
understands their economic problems better than McMahon, Dr. Schwartz added.
Voters have a mixed opinion of Murphy, with 39 percent favorable and 39 percent
unfavorable, compared to a negative 36 40 percent favorability three weeks ago. McMahon
gets a negative 41 47 percent favorability, down from a 45 41 percent positive October 4.
One of McMahons key strengths had been that voters liked her more than Murphy,
Schwartz added. Voters are evenly divided on Murphy but have a net negative opinion of
McMahon. After improving her image from two years ago, her favorability rating has fallenback to about where she was in 2010.
After being neck and neck among voters over 55, Murphy has opened up a 9-point lead
among this age group. This could be in part due to Murphys 16-point advantage among this
age group on who would do a better job on Medicare and Social Security, which have become
hot issues in this campaign.
Presidential Race
President Barack Obama buries Gov. Mitt Romney in the run for the White House,
leading 55 41 percent, compared to 54 42 percent October 4.
Obama leads 60 36 percent among women and gets 49 percent of men to Romneys 46
percent. The President leads among every subgroup except Republicans.
Only 5 percent of Romney voters and 6 percent of Obama voters say they might change
their mind.
President Barack Obama is running stronger than Murphy in Connecticut, holding
steady with a 14 point lead over Gov. Mitt Romney. The Presidents coattails are helping
Murphy, Schwartz said.
From October 19 22, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,412 likely voters with a margin
of error of +/- 2.6 percentage points. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.
The Quinnipiac University Poll conducts public opinion surveys in New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and the nation as a public service and
for research.
