Poll: Connecticut Voters Not Happy with Governor, Taxes
A new Quinnipiac University Poll released this morning shows Connecticut voters aren’t happy with Gov. Dan Malloy or his proposed $1.5 billion in tax increases: Connecticut’s new governor, Dannel Malloy, gets no honeymoon as voters disapprove 40 – 35 percent of the job he is doing, with 25 percent undecided, according to a Quinnipiac University [...]
Poll: American’s Don’t Much Like Congressional Republicans
Tom Jenson, writing on Public Policy Polling’s blog notes that Congressional Republicans aren’t terribly popular Americans… or even their own base: Our last national generic ballot poll found the Republicans ahead 45-42 despite the fact that Congressional Republicans had a 24/61 approval rating.
