The latest Quinnipiac University poll released Monday morning shows Gov. Dannel Malloy leading Republican challenger Tom Foley in a one-on-one race by 3 percentage points.
The poll of likely voters does not include petitioning candidate Joseph Visconti of West Hartford and shows that 7 percent of those surveyed are still undecided in the final hours before Tuesday's election. 11 percent of voters said they still might change their minds.
Douglas Schwartz, the poll director. says contrary to conventional wisdom, independent candidate Joe Visconti's last-minute exit from the governor's race doesn't look like it will help'' Foley.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.
The survey was taken starting last Tuesday and ended yesterday . The poll was already well underway when Visconti suddenly announced yesterday in Brookfield that he was getting out of the race and endorsing Foley.
