The news on today’s Quinnipiac University poll is all over the place, but it’s worth highlighting here because of what it means for the gubernatorial prospects of Dannel Malloy, the outgoing mayor of The Advocate’s hometown of Stamford.
According to the Q-poll, were Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell running for re-election in 2010, 52 percent of respondents would vote for her versus 33 percent for Malloy.
In a Democratic primary Malloy would only garner the support of nine percent of respondents.
I’d venture this is one of those “hurdles” Malloy told capitol reporters yesterday he needs to overcome before he decides to turn his exploratory committee into a full blown campaign.
With poll numbers like that, I’d be looking into a change of career.

And Ned Lamont will be bringing the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson back to Connecticut to support his campaign, just like he did in his bid to unseat Joe Lieberman. I just can’t wait to see the backlash on this one.
