Connecticut is in horrific shape. A GDP crashing 9.3% since 2007 (-0.5% on average EVERY year that Malloy was in charge). A never-ending, unusually massive outflow of capital and people yearly. An infrastructure pot-holed and pock-marked. A skyrocketing poverty rate. Income and corporate tax rates (once zero until 1991) the highest the state's ever seen (the single highest corporate tax in region at 8.25%). Hartford, once the insurance capital of the world, rife with big league banks and brokerages, now bankrupt. Intensely unpopular, outgoing governor Malloy, arguably the worst governor in US history. This state is set and ripe for a surprise this November

Bojicat: I'm surprised the experts got Lamont favored despite the horrible backlash against Malloy.

RP: Sounds like Lieberman is thinking Stefanowski is going to pull off the upset.

Sounds like Lieberman is still bitter.

sorry, I only trust polls from MAAC schools, not from Northeast Conference schools

sorry, I only trust polls from MAAC schools, not from Northeast Conference schools As a Republican, first I get excited when I saw the Sacred Heart poll. Then I checked the bias registred on this site under the polls sections, small sample of polls but it has to be one of the heaviest Republican biases.

Possible upset brewing. 60% in and Stefanowski leads by about 4 1/2 points.

nice that Ned Lamont is continuing the Dan Malloy tradition of close elections (actually, Connecticut, which is apparently awful now, probably shorted Lamont because of Malloy)

Lamont got lucky.
