Malloy Pulls Ahead in Latest Quinnipiac Poll

Gov. Dannel Malloy has pulled ahead of Republican challenger Tom Foley in the latest and last Quinnipiac Poll before the election.

Malloy leads Foley 47 percent to 44 percent, but seven percent of voters remain undecided.

“Contrary to conventional wisdom, independent candidate Joe Visconti’s last minute exit from the governor’s race doesn’t look like it will help Republican Tom Foley,” said Douglas Schwartz, PhD, director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

Of those polled 89 percent their decision is solidified and 11 percent said they may change their mind.

The poll was conducted between Oct. 28 and Nov. 2 and 926 likely voters were surveyed.
