The Connecticut Dem (and preferential mortgage recipient) finds his favorability numbers shrinking amongst Nutmeg State voters, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll:

A total of 42 percent of voters say they “definitely” or “probably” will vote to reelect Sen. Dodd in 2010, while 51 percent say the “probably won’t” or “definitely won’t” vote for him.
By a 54 – 24 percent margin, Connecticut voters say they are not satisfied with Sen. Dodd’s explanation of allegations that he received preferential mortgage treatment and 56 percent of voters say they are less likely to vote for him because of this controversy.

Likely not to help: Yesterday Dodd played wingman to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geither at his flopping Dow-dropping bank rescue plan speech.
