A new Quinnipiac University poll shows Connecticut U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd now trailing former Republican Congressman Rob Simmons and two other possible GOP challengers for the 2010 election.
The survey of nearly 2,000 registered voters also shows that Dodd is experiencing his lowest job approval numbers, with only 33 percent approving of the job that he’s doing and 58 percent disapproving. Pollster Douglas Schwartz says a 33 percent job approval rating is unheard of for a 30-year incumbent. The poll shows Simmons defeating Dodd by a 50 percent to 34 percent margin. Dodd trails state Sen. Sam Caligiuri (kahl-uh-JER’-ee) 41 percent to 37 percent, and former ambassador Tom Foley 43 percent to 35 percent.
The margin of error is 2.9 percentage points.
