The 2010 United States Senate election in Connecticut was a midterm election which took place on November 2 2010 to decide a Class III Senator from the State of Connecticut to join the 112th United States Congress. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd suffered from dropping approval ratings in the past few years due to major controversies leading him to announce in January 2010 that he would retire instead of seeking a sixth term.
