In February the Quinnipiac Poll called Susan Bysiewicz an "early favorite in a Democratic primary with 44 percent, followed by Malloy with 12 percent and Amann with 4 percent."
A poll the Susan Bysiewicz exploratory committee conducted earlier this month shows that not only is Jodi Rell vulnerable to a challenge, but that she is particularly vulnerable to a challenge from Bysiewicz .
In a head to head match-up, only 47% support Rell and 41% support Susan Bysiewicz.
Bysiewicz runs considerably stronger than Dan Malloy does against Rell, with Malloy at 31% to Rell's 52%.
Meanwhile, in a poll of Bridgeport voters conducted for the blog Only In Bridgeport the following question was posed:
if the Democratic Primary for Governor were held today, would you support Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz or Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy?
