A new poll, conducted by Quinnipiac, indicates that a matchup between Governor Lamont and Bob Stefanowski would result in the reelection of Governor Lamont by just eight percentage points. Governor Lamont won his first election by three percentage points, but the polling indicated a bigger lead.

The economy tops the list as the most important issue to voters in deciding who to vote for in the election for governor. Thirty-five percent of voters say the economy is the most important issue, followed by taxes (15 percent) and abortion (11 percent)
Fifty-two percent of voters approve of the way Ned Lamont is handling his job as governor, while 38 percent disapprove. This compares to a 65 – 26 percent job approval rating in a Quinnipiac University poll in May 2020 during the height of the initial wave of the coronavirus pandemic. Seventy-one percent of voters approve of the way Lamont is handling the response to the coronavirus, while 23 percent disapprove. In May 2020, Lamont received a 78 – 17 percent approval rating for his handling of
the response to the coronavirus. On Lamont’s handling of the state budget, voters are split with 43 percent approving and 44 percent disapproving.
