After closing a six-point gap earlier this month, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy now holds a 43-42 lead among likely voters over Republican challenger Tom Foley, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll, released Wednesday morning.
The Oct. 8 Q-Poll showed a 43-43 dead heat, with independent candidate Joe Visconti at 9 percent, where he remained in the today’s poll.
With Visconti not factored in, Malloy and Foley are deadlocked at 45-45.
“The race for Connecticut governor looks very much like it will go down to the wire – again,” Douglas Schwartz, director of the Quinnipiac University poll said in a statement.
Malloy leads Foley 51-32 among women — up from a 47-36 lead earlier this month. Foley leads Malloy 53-34 among men, which has widened from 50-39.
More voters are also certain of their choice on Nov. 4 than they were several weeks ago. Just 18 percent said they may change their mind before then, which is down from 25 percent.
