"Sen. Dodd is vulnerable. His approval has sunk to a new low"

Quinnipiac ^ | February 10, 2009

[Ooh-Ah]

Connecticut voters split 41 - 42 percent on whether they think Sen. Christopher Dodd is honest and trustworthy and disapprove 48 - 41 percent of the job he is doing, his first negative approval rating in a poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

Sen. Dodd

A total of 42 percent of voters say they "definitely" or "probably" will vote to reelect Sen. Dodd in 2010, while 51 percent say the "probably won't" or "definitely won't" vote for him.

By a 54 - 24 percent margin, Connecticut voters say they are not satisfied with Sen. Dodd's explanation of allegations that he received preferential mortgage treatment and 56 percent of voters say they are less likely to vote for him because of this controversy.

"Sen. Dodd is vulnerable. His approval has sunk to a new low. More voters disapprove than approve of the job he is doing for the first time in 15 years of polling," Schwartz said. "The mortgage controversy has taken a toll on his approval rating. Most voters are not satisfied with Dodd's explanation and say they are less likely to vote for him next year because of it."

ACORN will fix him right up. He’ll be okay.

[Man50D]

I don’t trust any polls this far out, especially in a flaming socialist state like Connecticut.

[TCats]

41 - 42 % think this guy is homiest and . . . capable? That's an awfully high reading for ANY member of Congress these days.

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

“..whether they think Sen. Christopher Dodd is honest and trustworthy...”

After all these years, they still have to debate that point?

[TCats]

homiest = honest (Damned spell chacker on FR)

[MaxMax]

4.5 Billion will cover alot. Is that even legal?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Even if they do vote to replace him, it will be with another socialist crook.

I can remember Dodd, along with Harkin, Kerry and other Rats all kissing Daniel Ortegas ass back in the 80’s. The mans ignorance is as genuine as his piety is phony. He and the rest of the modern American Political class, their cowbirds and camp followers disgust me. They are like syphilitic aristocrats from the Old World.

[Red Badger]

Sen. Dodo, uh Dodd.......

[StarFan]

Ping. Wish it said Schumer!

[2banana]

So...who will run against him?

[Red Badger]

That’s because they are syphilitic aristocrats from the New World.........

[St. Louis Conservative]

Connecticut is socialist. I can’t imagine there are many “real” Republicans left up there.

However, we are allowed to hope, right? Any Connecticut FReepers know of any real conservatives in Connecticut?

[highpockets]

So...who will run against him?

I am sure George Soros will let Zero know, so he can tell Ried and Pelosi who they should select.

"You are getting sleepy.....you are becoming mesmerized by my deep and impressive senatorial tones.....you are ignoring my sagging poll numbers....I did not get and never got preferential loan terms....it was, uh, a economic stimulus incentive, uh,....yeah, that's it....you are getting sleepy....you are not disturbed by the fact that my hair is white yet my eyebrows are dark.....the contrast does not alarm you.....you are tired and relaxed....I am not a crook....I am not a lib.....sleep......"

[SoldierDad]

Yep - Amazing how ACORN had 11 federal investigations going on before the election, and now - nothing (except that Obama’s trying to get them 5 billion from this “stimulus” package).

[muleskinner]

Sen. Dodd and Teddy were involved in a secretary sandwich back in the 80's.

I would hope this poll is correct and Dodd is headed for defeat but lest we forget, Murtha, another controversial democrat, won his district after calling his own constituents racist rednecks and our troops “murderers”.
