Rasmussen Reports: Connecticut poll of Democratic voters

The first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Connecticut’s Democratic Presidential Primary shows the race couldn’t possibly get any closer. Hillary Clinton attracts 40% of the vote and so does Barack Obama. John Edwards is a very distant third at 11% while 3% say they’d vote for some other candidate and 6% are not sure.

I grew up in Connecticut, and I never bought the notion that The Borg’s influence would spread like an inkblot across the tri-state region. As a former First Lady, she has national name recognition. But why would people in Hartford be especially well-disposed towards the senator from New York, who originally hailed from Arkansas? Admittedly, the Clintons are ahead in New Jersey (with a lot more delegates than CT). But there is no “Northeastern firewall.”

Will Massachusetts be the next state to tighten up?
