After his lead dropped to just 3 points following revelations about past exaggerations of his military record, Connecticut Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal's lead over Republican Linda McMahon is back over 20 points in Rasmussen polling (June 1, 500 LV, MoE +/- 4.5%).

But not only did his margin increase by 8 points since the May 18 poll, McMahon's dropped by 12 points -- perhaps in part due to questions about her work as CEO of the WWE. Voters are split over whether the Blumenthal revelations are important in deciding how to vote.

Blumenthal 56 (+8 vs. last poll, May 18)
McMahon 33 (-12)
Und 7

Blumenthal leads by 22.4 points in the RCP Average
