From the Q Poll:
In the Connecticut governor’s race, Democrat Dan Malloy leads Republican Tom Foley 48 – 43 percent among likely voters. This compares to Malloy’s 49 – 42 percent lead October 15.
Another 7 percent are undecided and 11 percent of likely voters who name a candidate say they could change their mind in the next week.
In today’s results, Malloy leads 80 – 9 percent among Democrats while Foley takes Republicans 90 – 7 percent. Independent voters back Malloy 50 – 41 percent.
Men split with 46 percent for Foley and 45 percent for Malloy, while women back the Democrat 52 – 41 percent.
Malloy gets a 47 – 34 percent favorability from Connecticut likely voters, compared to Foley’s 45 – 33 percent favorability.
“Throughout the fall campaign Democrat Dan Malloy’s share of the vote has been between 45 and 50 percent, while Republican Tom Foley’s has been stuck between 41 and 43 percent,” Dr. Schwartz added.
“While both Democrats remain ahead, Blumenthal is in a stronger position than Malloy. Malloy has a slight lead while Blumenthal has a comfortable lead.”

This one looks like a squeaker. I think Malloy will pull it out and that’s unfortunate. I’ve met the man and know others who know him well. He’s a good politician, telling you and me what we want to hear, even when it’s different sides of the coin. He is also an arrogant, intelligent man who wants to be surrounded by yes men and women. He did what he needed to do in Stamford to stay in power and ran up the bonded debt to over $200 million. He’s a spending freak!
Foley is just so lackluster he just doesn’t get anyone excited. His voters are anti-Malloy, not necessarily pro-Foley. Dan will have his hands full and might just be a one-term governor as he sets his sights on a job in DC.
