As you might expect, less than a week from super-duper-duper Tuesday, there are a flood of polls being released. The ones that most interest me are (because of geography) those showing how things stand in Connecticut.
Rasmussen released the following numbers on the GOP side:
- McCain 42%
- Romney 26%
- Giuliani 12% (pre-withdrawal, obviously)
- Huckabee 8%
- Paul 4%
Since Connecticut is a winner-take-all state, those polling numbers perhaps indicate why nary a GOP candidate’s ad can be seen on local media, and why there are no reports of Romney visiting the state.
(Yes, I’m still planning to throw away my vote on Ron Paul, although “uncommitted” looks like an equally attractive option.)
Over on the Democratic race, Rasmussen’s Connecticut numbers are far more entertaining:
- Hillary 40%
- Obama 40%
- Edwards 11% (pre-withdrawal)
That’s much closer than the wide Hillary lead that the Courant suggested about a week and a half ago….and it correlates rather nicely with why you can’t turn on a local TV station without seeing either an Obama or Hillary ad, or why our mailbox is becoming stuffed with mailed political fliers all addressed to my wife (registered D, voting against Hillary).
