President Obama continues to lead Mitt Romney in Connecticut.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds Obama with 51% support to 45% for Romney. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.
This reminds me of Indiana in 2008. McCain led Obama 50-43 on October 7th, 2008 in Indiana and NO ONE thought he would lose a state Bush had won by 20 points. But things tightened all the way to election day and Obama snuck by.
If Zero is only 6 points up in CT, a state he won by 22.4 points and topped 60% in 2008, then I think he’s finished.
I think Romney will pick up some votes, but unfortunately this state is too full with illegals and union thugs for Romney to win..but meanwhile, Obama is making “jokes” about OJ, and he can’t even say it right, refers to a “Suburban” when it was a white ford bronco..you can see Obama unraveling right before our eyes
We are seeing wall-to-wall 0bama ads in Baltimore, starting around Labor Day. We only got a smattering of 0 ads in 2008, and those only a few days before the election. I don’t imagine that 0 is going to lose Maryland, but if he needs to spend ad money here it is a very good sign.
Reagan carried Massachusetts twice. We can hope.
I think it’s a plus for Mitt, that he can’t take Massachusetts.
To win there, even as a favorite son; is not enough to overcome the liberal dogma.
I live in CT.
Obama has been holding around the 51% mark for a while here. He’s going to win.
Romney may get close, but short of some catastrophic breakdown that makes Obama’s first debate debacle look small by comparison, he won’t be able to win the state.
Having said that, I believe Linda McMahon will actually beat Chris Murphy for the Senate seat, by a similar margin of, say, two or three percentage points.
California is a socialist country. They are the ‘test state’ for what all of America is to become; 100% government operated. They raise taxes on small businesses in California because they WANT the private sector to leave so the government can take over!
If that 45% for Willard holds in CT, that’s higher than Dubya’s performance in 2004 (he got just under 44%). In which case, again, that will be enough nationally for a win. I also think McMahon will win this time. Excluding the execrable Weicker, that will be the first Senate GOP win since Grandpa Prescott Bush in 1956.
OMG will we see an election similar to Reagan’s? Big dream but what the heck! I understand Linda McMahon is holding her own as the race was getting closer last I heard.
“Excluding the execrable Weicker, that will be the first Senate GOP win since Grandpa Prescott Bush in 1956.”
WOW!!! Over half a century... Basically as long as the Castros have been in power.
Poll Ping.
Sounds good! Thanks for the ping with this info! Maybe, just maybe my home state of CT is coming around to the “right” side!
