This as the latest poll from Quinnipiac University has given Gov. Dannel Malloy a 3 percentage point lead over Republican challenger Tom Foley.
The poll had Malloy at 47 percent and Foley at 44 percent, just a day before voters head to the polls. Seven percent, however, remain undecided.
Just last week, an Oct. 29 survey showed Foley with a 46-45 percent lead over Malloy.
Experts said that just shows the pendulum could swing either way at any moment. - WFSB, 11/3/14
Quinnipac's poll tested just a two way race now that Joe Visconti (I. CT) is out:

“Contrary to conventional wisdom, independent candidate Joe Visconti’s last minute exit from the governor’s race doesn’t look like it will help Republican Tom Foley,” said Douglas Schwartz, the poll's director.
Malloy now is supported by 86 percent of Democrats, a number that has climbed steadily in four Quinnipiac polls since Sept. 10, when it was 77 percent. Foley is backed by 89 percent of Republicans, who are outnumbered by Democrats in Connecticut nearly 2-1.
Unaffiliated voters, the biggest bloc of the electorate, are nearly evenly split, 44 percent for Malloy and 45 percent for Foley. The governor has a 15-point lead among women, while Foley has a 10-point lead among men.
Neither major-party candidate is beloved. Only 43 percent of voters say they have a favorable opinion of Malloy, compared to 42 percent for Foley. Forty-nine percent have an unfavorable opinion of Malloy, compared to 44 percent for Foley.
The poll was the last of three released in recent days, all favorable for Malloy, an incumbent who has not reached a 50-percent job approval rating since taking office.
But Foley says his internal polling showed him with a 3½-point lead Thursday, and he's been telling his supporters he expects to win by four of five points on election night.
The Quinnipiac poll was based on a telephone survey of 982 likely voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points. - CT Mirror, 11/3/14
