It doesn't matter. Ned Lamont is EASILY leading in the polls by 12.5 points on average! All of my bets are on Lamont easily winning, much of which is due to the Trump effect!

Gravis poll will be the best to use-as they wisely query only likely voters.

I suspect Lamont wins, but it drops to 3 or 4 max by end, as Malloy has harmed the party brand.

Worst still, Lamont will further harm our business ranking, so I do not expect Ct to be anywhere near US job growth levels for many years to come. So that being said, if one can keep their present jobs, it harms only those who may have left, hoping to return someday.

But polls are so often proven wrong. But yes, Trump plus Stefanowski's personality.....or lack thereof. I mean a little bedside manner often goes a long way in politics. Even Trump has his brand of (snake oil salesman) charm. But Bob is stiff, kind of angry, kind of bullying. He's that scary high school Vice Principal you dreaded being sent to the office to talk to.

I mean if you thought Tom Foley was a little too warm and fuzzy, boy have we got a candidate for you!

The days of polls being meaningful accurate are over. They have proven to be unreliable. People do not give their honest opinions anymore. There is a silent majority of people who are not counted in these polls. The political consultants and analysts are largely biased and favor Democrats. The media is in the tank for promoting a liberal / progressive movement. In Connecticut, the cities go heavy for Democrats and all the suburbs go for Republicans. The Independents aka Silent Majority are the difference in any election. Connecticut needs change in direction. Stefanowski might not be all warm and fuzzy but he is better than what Lamont will bring.

The silent majority isn't large enough in CT to have an effect. CT & MA I think are the only states to vote 100% Democrat in all counties in the last three Presidential elections. (Obama - Obama - Trump)



Political consultants favor Democrats - like Karl Rove ? I heard he's a big Democrat supporter.


The media doesn't promote liberal progressive movements any more than they promote conservative movements. What we have now is mostly "opinion based news media". This is at least partly the result of removing the "equal time clause" or whatever it was called from the airwaves.


Equal time meaning if a Democrat gets 10 minutes on air so does a Republican. I think that was a good rule.

Trump won Litchfield and Windham counties. Romney won Litchfield.

The choice is pretty clear and obvious in this race. Vote for Lamont and you will get Malloy all over again. Taxes and Tolls will come. Stefanowski will be change. It might not be perfect but it will be different than what we had the past 8 years. This state is being destroyed by the spending and waste. The sanctuary cities are a major problem and drain in the state. You need new leadership in the legislature and governor.

Stefanowski idea about income tax is kinda scary
