Connecticut's Preference?


The Hartford Courant has released a poll regarding Connecticut primary voters preference on the Presidential candidates. The results, especially on the Republican side may surprise you.

Democrats said that they prefer Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama, by a fairly big number. Here are the results:

  1. Clinton: 41%
  2. Obama: 27%
  3. Edwards: 9%

On the Republican side, voters went with who they did in 2000, John McCain. This is very different from older polls that had Rudy Giuliani, the hero from next door, leading. McCain has a huge double digit lead. Here are their results:


  1. McCain: 39%
  2. Giuliani: 16%
  3. Romney: 11%

I find it weird how Giuliani has slipped so much in our state. If he were to win Florida, it could get more interesting. I know I haven't spent a lot of time covering more local stories, however this race has become so intense and interesting that I find it hard not to report on. It should be fun to see who Connecticut goes with on February 5th.
