HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Connecticut's race for governor remains tight and many voters appear to dislike both major party candidates, according to a new Quinnipiac  University Poll.

The survey released Wednesday shows Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy with 43 percent of the support of likely voters. Republican Tom Foley has 42 percent, while conservative petitioning candidate Joe Visconti has 9 percent.

An Oct. 8 poll showed Malloy with 43 percent, Foley with 43 percent and Visconti with 9 percent.

Poll Director Douglas Schwartz said Foley's favorability rating ``continues to tumble.'' For the first time, more voters have a negative view of him than a positive one. Malloy's favorability rating is slightly worse, however.

The telephone survey of 1,010 likely voters has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
