A new poll from the University of Connecticut (http://www.courant.com/media/acrobat/2008-01/34815743.pdf) gives Hillary Clinton and John McCain the leads in their respective primaries for this Super Tuesday state:
Democrats:
Clinton 41%
Obama 27%
Edwards 9%

Republicans:
McCain 39%
Giuliani 16%
Romney 11%
Huckabee 8%
Thompson 6%
Some more bad news for Rudy, with his February 5 strategy: The Connecticut Republican primary is a winner-take-all contest — so if he lost here by even one point, he wouldn't get a single delegate.

While I am not want to speak badly of my Alma Mater I think I found a slight problem with their poll. The CT ballot was finalized a while ago and I got to take a look at it last thursday. While I forgot in what position all the candidates are I can tell you that many that have dropped out are still one the ballot and will remain. Which means others will get votes. Also someone like Dodd might just get a lot of votes because he is the hometown boy even though he has left the raise.
