I would get some other poll. I know, it sounds nice to hear, but I remember how so many of Rassy’s 2012 polls were more positive about Romney than reality.
Foley needs a solid 10 point lead to combat Dem fraud in CT.
Last time he nearly won until some votes were “found” in Bridgeport.
“I remember how so many of Rassy’s 2012 polls were more positive about Romney than reality.”
This is true. But Rasmussen has been an outlier poll showing much greater national Obama approval the past 6 months than any other poll.
These pollsters know their science, but I can’t help but think this election will establish a new benchmark. The Republicans aren’t giving anyone any reason to vote for them, so I think support within their own party is very soft. It will come down to election day to determine how many were motivated enough to vote. I think that motivation probably sways largely from day to day, depending on what Obama, and the Democrats do, again, because the Republicans aren’t giving anyone any reason to vote for them. I think the strongest turnout will among people that are righteously angry with Obama, but aren’t necessarily supportive of the GOP, and want to punish the administration. But the Democrats will have their busses, and cigarettes handy to fill the polls with their army of disaffected, so the question will be, are there enough angry voters to overcome the Democrat astro turf voters?
I think all of need to remember what happened just before the election in 2012. Hurricane Sandy. The MSM made it look like Obama was a take charge leader and saved the day.
And of course all the photo opps with Christie.
RCP has Foley ahead by 0.2 pts.
Rasmussen offset by PPP poll that has Malloy +6
Rasmussen is no longer run by Scott Rasmussen. They seem to be skewing a little more Democrat in this cycle. With that said this is a rematch of four years ago where Foley barely lost. I doubt it's Foley +7 there, but it seems to be a close race. Malloy hasn't been too impressive of a governor.
Changed, now they go to far the other way.
