Seems like both Connecticut and Illinois came back home to their respective Governors.

Foley is the Republican challenger and is leading the Democratic incumbent governor, Malloy, by 7 in this poll, which is the same as the last Rasmussen poll from August. It's also the best poll for Foley since that previous Rasmussen, or a Quinnipiac from September if you adjust for the FiveThirtyEight house effect.

In what sense do you think that this poll is showing voters "coming home" for Malloy?

Woah, I see. For some reason I got Malloy and Foley mixed up. Sorry about that.

Not good news for Malloy then.

It's all good; I always have to double-check when I see a poll of this race because their names are so similar.

Yeah, they are both pretty bread and butter American names.

No pretty good. Malloy is an abject failure as I've said

Hope it's true but I'd like to see another poll.

If Republicans can pick up this governorship plus 1 or 2 New England House seats, I'll be pretty happy.

Meh, not buying it. Both PPP and Quinnipiac had Malloy improving since summer (and YouGov as well if you want to count them). Ras is the only one to show the race completely unchanged.

Quin had it tied which was an improvement to be fair, and I thought it was agreed that the PPP poll was to be taken lightly

What is going on here? Foley up by high single digits, then Malloy up by low double digits, and then the former again?

15 point gap between PPP and Rassy? Colour me skeptical.
