The two frontrunners for their parties’ nominations in the Connecticut governor race — Democrat Ned Lamont and Republican Thomas Foley — are in a statistical dead-heat with Lamont leading by 40 percent to 37 percent with 9 percent preferring someone else and 14 percent undecided, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Feb. 1. The margin of error is 4.5 points.
A Quinnipiac University poll in mid-January, had Lamont leading the Democratic pack with 27 percent, compared to 11 percent for Malloy and the rest of the field drawing 4 percent or less each. Foley was leading Fedele 17 percent to 8 percent with three others at 6 percent or less. Each side had a large number of undecideds.
