Governor's Race -- Malloy 45; Foley 42%

In a quinnipiac poll released today, the Connecticut governor's race is a statistical tie. The poll show Malloy at 45% and Foley at 42%. This is great news. Malloy has been unmasked in the campaign as someone who is not serious about cutting state spending. He has made clear that he will not tackle the major problem of pension reform for state workers, the removal of wasteful spending from the budget or, indeed, any real effort to slow the growth of spending. With Malloy, more job killing taxes are on the way for sure. In fact, one of the clearest indications that Malloy has nothing positive to say is that he has shifted to negative attack ads against Foley which focus on things that Foley did decades ago. malloy seems to have no answers to Foley's campaign positions.

Connecticut needs to get serious about apending if it is to start gaining jobs again. Foley can do this. Malloy has chosen not to. The poll shows that the public is starting to catch on.
