DescriptionQuinipiac University Poll.

An excerpt...
"Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell continues to rack up sky-high approval ratings and has widened her lead over her strongest potential Democratic challenger for reelection, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Gov. Rell, who has topped the 70 percent mark in every poll since August, 2004, gets a 79 - 9 percent approval rating today, virtually unchanged from an 80 - 10 percent rating in an April 6 poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University."

" In an early look at the 2006 Governor's race, Rell beats State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal 49 - 37 percent, compared to 46 - 43 percent April 6. Her margins over other possible Democratic challengers are much greater:

* 63 - 20 percent over Lt. Gov. Kevin Sullivan;
* 61 - 22 percent over Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz;
* 61 - 22 percent over New Haven Mayor John DeStefano;
* 63 - 18 percent over Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy.

Blumenthal is the clear choice among Democratic primary voters, with 49 percent, followed by 12 percent for Bysiewicz and 9 percent for DeStefano."
