[Tender Branson]

From March 19 - 24, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,697 Connecticut registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percentage points.

Obama: 52%
McCain: 35%

In the Obama-McCain matchup, independent voters support the Democrat 45 - 38 percent, while voters under 45 years old back him 63 - 30 percent, the independent Quinnipiac University poll finds. White voters back Obama 48 - 39 percent while black voters back him 91 - 5 percent.

Clinton: 45%
McCain: 42%

When Clinton faces McCain, independent voters go to the Republican 48 - 36 percent, while young voters back her 50 - 39 percent. Men back McCain 52 - 37 percent, while women back Clinton 53 - 33 percent.

Favorables:

Obama: 59% favorable - 24% unfavorable
McCain: 52% favorable - 31% unfavorable
Clinton: 46% favorable - 47% unfavorable

Do you think Barack Obama would make a good President or not? - 56% Yes / 28% No
Do you think John McCain would make a good President or not? - 51% Yes / 35% No
Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good President or not? - 49% Yes / 43% No

LOL@How bad Hillary does. Serves you right you worthless whore.

 There is no need for this sort of demeaning comment.

There´s still a clear picture:

Obama does better than Clinton on the entire West Coast, probably the Plains as well, except Oklahoma and Texas (where they are tied). Clinton does better in the South (except Virginia). Obama is stronger in the Minnewisowanois area. Both are about equal in the North-East.

This is interesting—I'd have guessed McCain would play better in CT than –17.  (And I'd have figured he'd play worse than –3 against Clinton, but really, that's a moot point considering she won't be nominated.)

Connecticut may be more Democratic than Massachusetts this year.

A result like this would probably also spell a loss for Chris Shays.
