Lamont Campaign Statement on Today's Q-Poll

New Haven, CT - Businessman Ned Lamont's campaign released the following statement after the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute released the results of a statewide poll showing Lamont maintaining his lead in the Democratic gubernatorial primary:

"Despite a two-week barrage of Dan Malloy's false, negative ads and his repetition of four-year-old lies about Ned and his company, Connecticut voters still know that Ned Lamont has the best experience to create jobs and help their families. By a nearly two to one margin, Connecticut Democrats know that Ned is the candidate who has what takes to beat the Republicans, take back the Governor's mansion, and get our state moving forward," said Lamont Communications Director Justine Sessions.

"While Dan's campaign grows more desperate and erratic every day, we're sticking to our strategy and talking to the people of Connecticut about the issue that they care about most: jobs. We've got a robust field operation that will turn out our voters on election day, and with just 5 days to go, the only poll that matters to us is next Tuesday."

08/04/10 The Raw Ned Lamont News Feed: Top Story Greenwich Roundup Poll Says Ned Lamont's Lead Over Dan Malloy Has Vanished.

NEW POLL:Greenwich Resident Ned Lamont's Has No Local Lead Over Former Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy In The Upcoming Democratic Primary On Tuesday

Since Monday Greenwich Roundup has informally interviewed 22 Greenwich Democrats and was shocked to learn that only 3 said that they were voting for Ned Lamont.

Nine Greenwich Democrats seemed unaware that that the Democratic primary was to be held in just six days.

Of the 22 Greenwich Democrats interviewed only six said that they were voting in the primary and all of these Democrats said they are voting for Stamford resident Dan Malloy.

Greenwich Roundup did not find any Greenwich Democrats who were unsure or sitting on the fence when it came to Ned Lamont or Dan Malloy.

The Greenwich Roundup poll has found that Greenwich Democratic voters are strongly committed to sticking with the party nominee.

It appears that Ned Lamont's only hope of squeaking out a win is other more liberal metropolitan areas like Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford.

Even though the the Greenwich Roundup poll probably has error margin of plus or minus 98% due to it's small size.

However this reporter / slash pollster was shocked that there was virtually no support for Ned Lamont in his own hometown of Greenwich.

The front runner in previous polls was Greenwich businessman, Ned Lamont who has a largely self-funding his campaign. Mr. Lamont has promised to use his business experience to fix
Connecticut's stagnant economy and a projected deficit next year of $3.4 billion.

Dan Malloy who is a Stamford resident and an experienced elected official, is casting himself as ready to the do the job.

Dan Malloy was mayor of Stamford for 14 years and just received $2.5 million in public financing and has used that money to quickly close in on and possibly overtake the wealthy Ned Lamont.

Ned Lamont is probably anticipating that a new
Quinnipiac Universitypoll being made public Thursday will disclose what he has most likely been seeing in private polling

Former Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy is coming on fast and hard in the last days of this
primary election.

This has happened before. Ned Lamont spent $17 Million on his Senate campaign against
Joseph Lieberman only to come out a loser in 2006.

The big question now is....

Will History repeat itself?

Political insiders are saying that Ned Lamont has probably spent 7 to 9 Million an a primary election that he just may lose in six days.

Maybe Ned Lamont still has a chance.

In the the final gubernatorial primary poll in 2006, when Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy was running against New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Dan Malloy was down by 7 percentage points and then days later, Dan Malloy lost by 1.5 percentage points.

It looks like we will know if Ned Lamont wasted another 9 Million bucks on Tuesday night.

All told is looks like Ned Lamont will have spent well over 25 Million on two self funded Connecticut political campaigns.

That is an awful lot of money could have been used to feed a lot of hungry children or provided educational opportunities to the disadvantaged.
