The formerly “Lean Democrat” Connecticut gubernatorial race is a a “Toss-Up,” according to the Cook Political Report.
“Despite Connecticut’s solid blue hue, Malloy has had a difficult first term and is not all that popular with voters. He inherited a $3.5 billion budget shortfall that he closed by raising taxes, including the sales tax. Although he claimed a budget surplus this year, it turned out to be premature,” said Jennifer Duffy of the report.
