That’s some good news, Speedy. Thanks for posting. According to this polling article the Dem leads by 5 points among those who have already voted. But Issa leads 7:1 among those intending to vote. And the district has more Pubbies than Dems. Trump won CA-50 by 15 points.

We need to GAIN in the Senate to help offset the fake “Republicans.”
I’d love to see a few New England congressional seats flip, CT-2 and CT-5
I'm across the state from CT-05. I heard early on there was hope to reclaim that seat (D+2 district), but haven't heard much since. The GOP candidate, David X. Sullivan, seems to have a lot of support from police unions. That could be very helpful, as our state pushed through a police accountability law that is very unpopular.
I do think the CT Republicans have a good shot at making some gains in the statehouse.
New poll from University of NH
Shows Matt Mower GOP nominee in NH-1 LEADING by 2 (a 2nd poll had the rat up 5) looks like a top-tier opportunity
In same poll
Trump down by 8
Corky down by 11
Republican in NH-2 down 10
Sununu up 14 (this guy better run against Hassan in 2022)
Isn’t New Britain’s mayor a Republican? A few of Connecticut’s small cities has R mayors, correct?
I grew up in Larson’s hometown (East Hartford) and I’d love to see him go down. He talks conservative when he is in CD-1 (One day, I was at ShopRite and he was shopping, so I asked him about a bill (I forgot what it was, since it was in 2003) and he agreed on my position, when he voted, he voted against my position.
I used to live in East Hartford. The Shoprite on Main Street, by the Taco Bell?
Why in the world would Trump lose 8 points in NH from four years ago, while he’s at a minimum held serve in states such as FL, NC, OH, WI, etc.? Makes no sense to me.
Nicole’s R+3 district went for Trump by nearly ten points in 2016. Acc to this poll she leads the incumbent Dem 48-46% among likely voters. Dems are claiming awesome turnout in this district, which would appear to run counter to much of the country. Nicole has high name recognition from a failed mayoral run.

Yes, New Britain has a GOP mayor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Stewart
But the city is overwhelmingly Democrat in federal elections. Here are the vote percentages from GOP presidential candidates since 2000:
2000: George W. Bush 25.26%
2004: George W. Bush 31.13%
2008: John McCain 24.23%
2012: Mitt Romney 22.74%
2016: Donald Trump 27.12%
RINO Nancy Johnson’s insistence that her home town of New Britain stay in her district after 2001 redistricting (when CT lost a CD and her district was renumbered as the CT-05) is one of the reasons why the GOP has been unable to win back that CD since Johnson lost reelection in 2006.
No, the ShopRite on Spencer Street in Manchester. When I moved in 2004, that ShopRite was Andy’s, then Shaw’s.
It was still Shaw’s when I moved there in early 2009. Switched over within a year or two.
