Just about time for a new Quinnipiac Poll? You betcha.

dougFolks in the know are getting reports that the respected Quinnipiac University Poll is back on the phones, asking likely voters about their candidates for governor. So can a pre-dawn release of a new poll on Wednesday or Thursday be far behind? The October 8 poll, explained by Poll Director Doug Schwartz, left, showed that Malloy picked up 6 points on Republican Tom Foley in a month, bringing the replay of the battling, brawling 2010 election to a 43-all tie. Since then there have been two debates, including the CPTV throwdown with independent Joe Visconti of West Hartford last Thursday.
