Norwich bulletin: Clinton and Giuliani lead, Dodd a distant fourth in new poll of CT voters

If the Connecticut primary were held today, New York Sen. Hilliary Clinton and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani would win their respective party contests. The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University has Clinton leading the Democratic field with 33 percent, followed by Obama at 21 percent and Gore at 9 percent. Dodd comes in with 8 percent and former North Carolina Sen. john Edwards has 5 percent.

On the Republican side, Giuliani is the choice among 43 percent of GOP voters, followed by Arizona Sen. John McCain with 27 percent. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is third at 5 percent and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is at 4 percent.

In a head-to-head matchup, Clinton holds a slight lead over Giuliani, 48-44 percent.

The poll is here. 

In the Northeast, Rudy continues to poll well over Senator McCain.

Note well:

Romney at 4 %

Rudy vs. Hillary – very close

“The Clinton-Giuliani matchup is close, similar to recent results in Quinnipiac University polls in three potential swing states, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and in New Jersey,” Schwartz said. “Could Giuliani’s crossover appeal and next-door neighbor status put a blue state like Connecticut into play?”

You betcha……
