It's good to see that Blumenthal has a higher unfavorable rating than Schiff!

Better yet, everyone has a higher unfavorable rating than Schiff.

 

[South Park Fan]

It looks like Peter is gained some name recognition since the last poll. I would guess that his primary standing is better too. It should at least be higher than 15%

It's supposed to be 56/43 for Rell. lol

 

[No1ButPaul08]

Peter has the best ratio of favorable/unfavorable of all the GOP candidates.

Peter Schiff 44/29 = 1.52
Rob Simmons 54/37 = 1.46
Linda McMahon 54/42 = 1.29

 

[RforRevolution]

This makes me highly question any republicans prospects regardless of their policies.

How is it possible to have somebody unfavor Schiff?

How is it possible to have somebody unfavor Schiff?

Alot of the people I have talked to see him as "unwinnable" and a one trick pony. To their credit, Schiff's commercials have only focused on the economic perspective. I usually counter them with his debate skills and libertarian/conservative social platform. Then most people tell me that he should include those things in his ads, which I agree with.

 

[ironmanjakarta]

peter couldnt of picked a worse state to run in could he? 59% of CT'ers think obama is doing a good job? o.m.g. its going to be really tough to win this thing. rand had it easy.

 

[skyorbit]

This poll doesn't tell me anything.

I want to know the odds of him actually making it to the general.

[fatjohn]

How many of the 44 will actually vote schiff?

 

[K466]

How is it possible to have somebody unfavor Schiff?

Only if they haven't done their homework. How could anyone watch his mortgage bankers speech and not support him... even if they are Democrat?

Because they are stupid.

Agreed. Not polling the primary itself is a huge mistake. The only useful information gained were favorables/unfavorables.

 

[Perry]

These polls will change very quickly given Blumenthalgate.

 

[pahs1994]

The convention is tomarrow right? Will Peter be speaking at it?

 

[Daamien]

I believe all candidates will have an opportunity to speak.

 

[Stop Making Cents]

Is this before or after the blumenthal military lies?
