A new Quinnipiac University poll says Gov. M. Jodi Rell‘s approval rating has hit an all-time low of 59 percent, but that’s much better than the 35 percent approval rating state lawmakers got.
Quinnipiac released results from its new poll of 921 registered voters today.
Poll Director Doug Schwartz says the state’s budget problems continue to take a toll on Rell’s popularity. The state only recently approved a $37.6 billion budget for the two-year period that began July 1, after months of bickering over an $8 billion deficit.
More than half of voters in the poll say Rell “copped out” by refusing to sign or veto the budget bill.
