Thanks to all the readers who have pointed out that this race is inside the margin of error. I always assumed that in a 4.5% margin of error, the race could go 2.25% either way for each candidate. But lots of readers are pointing out that a 4.5% margin of error goes to each candidate so each one can go up or down 4.5%, meaning McMahon could be up 4.5% and Blumenthal down 4.5%, thus putting this race squarely within the margin of error.]]>Mon, 27 Sep 2010 11:30:23 -0400<![CDATA[Moe Lane]]>https://redstate.com/moe_lane/2010/09/27/rasmussen-mcmahon-r-cand-ct-sen-within-five-n36381
