CT: Public Policy Polling: Murphy up on all Republicans

I think it's important to note here that Susan Bysiewicz, despite all her faults, only trails Murphy by only 6 in the D Primary.

I think it's important to note here that Susan Bysiewicz, despite all her faults, only trails Murphy by only 6 in the D Primary.

What's wrong with her again? Also, how do you pronounce her last name?

Let's run down her greatest hits:

In 2010, she ran for CT Attorney General despite not having the minimum qualifications for doing so -- ten years' active practice of law. She wound up getting disqualified and removed from the ballot.

The day after the 2010 election, she declared Malloy the winner of the too-close-to-call Governor's race. The AP used this information to make their official call, but all were embarrassed when the count actually showed Foley to be ahead and the call had to be pulled.

She's actually down from PPP's last poll, which only had Murphy leading 40-38.

Linda McMahon is leading Shays 60-27 in the Republican primary.

What I'm saying is that it makes no sense for people (and polling firms) to post Murphy vs. [3 Republicans] numbers as the major toplines when it's the Democratic primary race that's in doubt, not the GOP one. Except, I guess, to further a "GOP will nominate the wrong candidate" storyline.
