CT-PPP: Malloy +8

[KCDem]

Massive Outlier. Goes to the trash until another reliable pollster confirms it.

How can this be an outlier when no one else has polled Connecticut recently?

Malloy will win. Likely D as from the beginning. Moving along...

PPP is labeled a gold standard when Republicans are leading, but it's back to being a hack firm when a Democrat is up. Interesting.0

It's because it doesn't remotely line up with anything else. Essentially every poll of this race has showed Foley tied or ahead. The only exceptions are YouGov and Vox Populi, but even in those the Malloy lead was 1-2, not 8.

WHAT OTHER POLLS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

The last non-Yougov poll in Connecticut was from Quinnipiac at the start of September and they have been a joke this cycle. This has been the only poll from a firm with a decent track record all cycle. Sorry if I trust gold standard PPP over Youcrap and Quinnijoke.

Great news!

Not for the allegedly unhappy CT voters who won't see any change ... States that become too partisan one way or the other ---> bad news, IMO.

It's a good thing it is those same CT voters who will make this choice.

You people talk as if Quinn and Malloy are about to be forced on the voters against their will.

No, more suggesting that a significant enough bloc of voters in reliably red or reliably blue states have gotten so caught up in national politics/RNC and DNC gimmick campaigning that they simply won't even vote for any member of the "other party," even if it's a well-qualified and moderate local candidate who they might have had no qualms with sending to DC or the governor's mansion even ten years ago.

And, at the end of the day, whether that's CT no longer voting for ANY Republican just because of their grievances with the national GOP or Alabama no longer voting for ANY Democrat just because of their grievances with the national Dems, I think it's sad and bad for politics.

Foley is neither well-qualified nor moderate.

Nice.

Not if you live in CT and actually know what a trainwreck Malloy has been

Clearly no if the voters are ready to reelect him.
