Quinnipiac Poll Gives Lamont 20-Point Lead

A Quinnipiac poll of Connecticut likely voters found Lamont leading Fazio 58% to 38% less than three weeks before the election. His three-point gain since September is within the poll's margin of error. Fazio's campaign spent $7.2 million on television advertising, yet 30% of respondents said they did not know enough about him to form an opinion. Cost of living and the economy were voters' top concerns, and Lamont led among voters naming those issues, while Fazio led among those focused on taxes and immigration. Fazio supporters reported greater enthusiasm than Lamont's. Fazio criticized Lamont-backed tax breaks for data centers as a policy difference.
