DINARDO RESPONDS TO Q-POLL

(Hartford, Connecticut) — The Connecticut Democratic Party today released the following statement from Chairwoman Nancy DiNardo:

“Polls this far in advance of an election are rarely predictive of actual election outcomes, but since the Republicans are crowing about today’s Quinnipiac poll, I thought I’d offer a few thoughts on Tom Foley.  Once Connecticut residents are reminded of his opposition to the common sense gun safety bill Governor Malloy signed into law, and once people are reminded that he spent a career getting rich off destroying jobs and people’s financial security, and once people are reminded that he’s never done anything remotely close to guiding a state through crisis after crisis, his poll numbers will crater and voters will reject him just as they did in 2010.  But let’s also remember that he’s not the nominee of the Republican Party yet, and the last few wealthy Republicans who tried to buy state offices failed.”
