Lamont 43
Stefanowski 38

'The poll is similar to others that have the race as a single-digit battle between the two top contenders. Independent candidate Oz Griebel of Hartford was not mentioned in the poll results.'

Pretty weak, but considering he's of the same party of a governor with 70% disapproval, it's actually not bad. This is somewhat the opposite of Oklahoma.

I wonder if the independent is pulling enough votes from Stefanowski so that Lamont wins with under 50% of the vote.

Why is Muhloy so deeply underwater? Even Ned is running away as fast he can from this guy.

I expect Ned to win now, but keep in mind this was how much Foley was down by on average in 2010 and 2014 and he still only narrowly lost both. Taking into account Oz seemingly being on the upsurge, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is closer than we think.

He's borked budget after budget year after year and there's the perception that he does nothing but raise taxes and waste money. Remember: CT is Democratic because of social issues. Fiscally, it's rather moderate, a remnant of its GOP past.

Not safe. I'd say Lean, closer to Likely than Tossup. Remember, in governor races, Republicans tend to be underpolled. Again, I'm going in expecting a Lamont win, but it won't be by a margin that would constitute calling it Safe.

Lamont isn't Muhloy, what else is new? Likely D.
