Dodd Down

Well … it’s a start.

In a Quinnipiac University poll taken days after Dodd released details of two mortgages being investigated by a Senate ethics panel, Connecticut voters are evenly split on whether they trust the five-term Democrat.

Fifty-four percent of those surveyed said they are not satisfied with Dodd’s explanation of his mortgage situation and 57 percent said the controversy makes them less likely to vote for Dodd next year.

Forty-eight percent of respondents disapprove of Dodd’s job performance, up 7 percent since December. The poll found 41 percent approve of how Dodd is doing his job, a drop of 6 percent. It’s the first time in the poll’s history that more voters disapprove of Dodd.

Still not sure this translates into the voting booth … it depends on who the Republcans run. Hey, it depends on who the Democrats run. Still, any port in a storm.
