Obama barely above a majority in Connecticut. Romney, not surprisingly, has New England appeal.

Wisconsin, Michigan and competitive in New England, Romney's doing very well!

The last Republican to win Connecticut was President Bush in 1988 against “Rocky” Dukakis. Even CT saw through that clown.

“Doing well” in Connecticut (ie losing by only 8) does NOT help when you are doing poorly in Virginia, Ohio, and Florida. Other than Indiana, you really can’t say for sure Romney is going win any states Obama took in 2008. All you can say is states like CT, PA, MA, and MI are going to be closer and he has a shot at stealing WI and IA.

Hang on, isn't this a battleground state?

No?

Never mind.

We could turn CT into a red state in about 15 minutes just by ending deductibility for state and local taxes.

Didn’t CT have issues with voter fraud in 2010? Perhaps the state GOP should try to push Voter ID laws, of course that’s easier said than done in New England.

If Obama isn’t ahead by double digits in Connecticut, the floor is falling out from under him.

Sorry to say, but that is a whopping lead. And, in all honesty, I cannot for the life of me figure out how anyone but blacks (who put skin color above all else) can possibly rationalize voting for this loser. Since, I rarely ever talk with liberals, can anyone who does share their rationale?

Rassmussen - Connecticut: Obama 51%, Romney 43%

Maybe, just maybe CT voters are getting sick of Dems who knows, if Linda wins the senate and Romney wins the EV of CT, maybe the house can pick up 2 or 3 house seats (and down ticket? Maybe Edith Praug's district will retire the old SENILE MARXIST BAT!! Her district is not as liberal as she is!!)

If Obama can only pull 51% in CT, he’s in big trouble. Even though the nominee is Romney, he’s still the Republican in a national race, and I don’t think CT usually goes GOP in the Presidential race.

Yesterday there was an outlier poll for CT that showed Romney ahead.

That was hard to believe. Rassmussen continues to be the most believable pollster out there.
