CT-Sen: Dodd's Numbers Still Ugly

[ccharles000]

Quinnipiac (7/16-20, registered voters, 5/20-25 in parens, 3/26-31 in parens for Foley match-up):

Chris Dodd (D-inc): 39 (39)
Rob Simmons (R): 48 (45)
Undecided: 10 (13)

Chris Dodd (D-inc): 42 (41)
Sam Caligiuri (R): 40 (39)
Undecided: 15 (17)

Chris Dodd (D-inc): 42 (35)
Tom Foley (R): 42 (43)
Undecided: 14 (16)

Chris Dodd (D-inc): 43
Peter Schiff (R): 38
Undecided: 16
(MoE: ±2.5%)

Woof. The subtle consensus over the past couple of months has been that Dodd was beginning his slow climb back to respectability (and electoral viability) by keeping his nose clean and burying himself in the legislative process -- especially since his numbers ticked upward slightly in the last Q-Poll of the race -- but these numbers are still freak-nasty.

The Q also takes another look at the Dem and GOP primaries:

Chris Dodd (D-inc): 52 (44)
Merick Alpert (D): 18 (24)
Undecided: 27 (30)
(MoE: ±4%)

Rob Simmons (R): 42 (48)
Sam Caligiuri (R): 5 (10)
Tom Foley (R): 5 (n/a)
Peter Schiff (R): 0 (n/a)
Undecided: 45 (39)
(MoE: ±5%)

Well, at least those numbers look a little better for Dodd, but they're hardly anything to brag about. On the bright side, though, Dodd's overall favorables are inching in the right direction. After cratering in Quinnipiac's late March survey at 30-58 (ouch!), Dodd's currently sitting on a 40-50 favorable rating, up from 37-51 in May. Still bad, but no longer utterly toxic.

1. It's unfortunate, because I saw Chris Dodd speak live yesterday on C-SPAN before

President Obama's press conference.

He was really tearing apart Senate Repukes and his own ConservaDem colleagues for foot-dragging on health care.

2. this is really sad, i kind of hope Obama offers him some position in the administration

if the numbers don't improve. it would suck to see him lose while that whore Lieberman was able to win after all the shit he pulled.

3. Hmmm, my parents want Peter nutty Schiff to run. My Mom used to work for his Dad.

I will gag if Simmons wins. I hope the #'s improve.

4. All becasue of the AIG tempest in a teapot

hopefully Dodd can hold on.
