Gravis don't care. Though it definitely shows Foley with the edge

Just like Mitt's "I like firing people" didn't. Oh wait.

For Fudge's sake that isn't gonna have that big an impact

Just like Mitt's "I like firing people" didn't. Oh wait.

When compared to things like the "47 percent", things like the "I like firing people", "Etch a Sketch", or for that matter, Obama's "You didn't build that", had essentially no effect.

That alone certainly didn't. Unlike Foley, who had a seeming lapse of judgement here, Romney had a history of making very out of touch remarks. It was the combination of everything Romney said that reinforced this image of an out of touch vulture capitalist.

Exactly; genuine "game changers" are few and far between.

Now, regarding the Gravis poll, it is doubtful that Foley is leading by 8. He probably has an edge, but a lead of the magnitude seen in this poll just isn't likely for a Republican in Connecticut.

Oh?

I feel things have changed since 2006. Let's just keep in mind that Foley lost in 2010, a great Republican year. Maybe a Republican could win by a massive margin in this race, but I do not see that happening. I just have trouble believing the kind of margin indicated in this Gravis poll can happen anymore for a Republican in Connecticut.

To be honest, I was kind of being a douche, and the circumstances for Rell's margin were pretty obvious - very (almost liberal) moderate Republican incumbent. Foley is not the incumbent, and though center right, is not the most moderate candidate the Republicans have to offer. But still, a large margin for a Republican in Connecticut is not impossible, just closing in on improbable.

Gravis don't care. Though it definitely shows Foley with the edge

So Gravis is irrelevant unless the preferred candidate from your party is leading. Gotcha.

Okay, what you're saying makes sense. I thought that the link you shared indicated a legitimate question, so I wanted to clarify what I meant.

I don’t know the situation on the ground in Connecticut, but I think it is probable that a Republican can win a gubernatorial race in Connecticut by comfortable margins. Gubernatorial races are generally less partisan than elections for the Senate, House or the Presidency. That is why the Democrats are able to win in places like Nebraska and Arizona, and why the GOP had the governorships in Connecticut, Vermont and Rhode Island until 2010.

Absolutely not. Gravis is junk, but even with a junk poll, this wide a lead definitely shows at least slight momentum.

Then I'll tell you. Malloy is okay with disasters. Credit where it is due. BUT his promise of a tax refund that was never realized, awful budget, and grabby gun laws that were pushed after a tragedy when nobody was thinking straight in a state with high gun ownership, have him at a clear disadvantage. I understand why some outsiders would be rooting for him, but his execution of the laws, not to mention his outspoken Common Core support, make his approval mediocre even in a deep blue state like this.

Kind of like how you think of Rasmussen.

McKinney already has a pretty brutal ad over the paper mill thing apparently it does matter.

That is very interesting. I’ve heard that Malloy is somewhat controversial even among liberals in Connecticut. Is that so?
What sort of Republican is Foley? Is he a Republican of the same brand as Jodi Rell?

Yes. Malloy is pretty much hated in everywhere but the cities that propelled him ahead in 2010. Foley is also the perfect Republican for CT. Moderate. Very moderate. Basically another Rell, who I would love to lead us again.
