Linda McMahon is apparently having trouble with the ladies.
According to the New York Times, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate seems to be lagging behind Richard Blumenthal in support from female voters.
"She's bothering people," Dolores Meehan, a retiree from Norwalk told the Times. "There are about 10 to 12 ads in an hour. If you're watching a show, it's too much."
The paper cited a CNN/Time poll out last week that showed Blumenthal with nearly twice as many women voters backing him than McMahon.
In interviews done with dozens of women across Connecticut, the Times said most disliked McMahon's attack ads, while some weren't happy about her past with World Wrestling Entertainment.
"How can you claim to be a political figure when you are on stage wrestling with your own daughter?" Stacey Smith of Stamford told the paper.
While some of McMahon's ads address her former WWE life, many steer clear of the business she created with her husband Vince McMahon. Just this week, new radio ads began running featuring Gov. M. Jodi Rell.
Some don't seem to mind McMahon's affiliation with the wrestling empire.
"That's entertainment," Donna Candella of Naugatuck told the New York Times. "It's not a real sport. And those women choose to be there. They weren't forced to be there."
