Romney Reports Big Fundraising Tally
Mitt Romney (R) has raised nearly $3.5 million for his PAC this year, the Boston Globe reports, “a sum that dwarfs that of other possible 2012 Republican presidential candidates and establishes the former Massachusetts governor as a potent political force.”
Lamont Leads Malloy in Connecticut
A new Quinnipiac poll in Connecticut finds Ned Lamont (D) leading Dan Malloy (D) for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination by nine points, 46% to 37%.
Either Democrat beats Tom Foley (R) — the runaway favorite in the race for the GOP nomination — in general election matchups. Lamont leads Foley, 45% to 33%, while Malloy is ahead, 44% to 33%.
Democrats have not won the Connecticut governor’s race in 24 years.
Georgia Republicans Likely Headed to Runoff
A new Mason-Dixon poll in Georgia finds John Oxendine (R) leading the GOP field for governor with 31%, followed by Karen Handel (R) at 23%, Nathan Deal (R) at 18% and Eric Johnson (R) at 6%.
The top two finishers will face a runoff if no one reaches 50% in Tuesday’s primary.
On the Democratic side, former Gov. Roy Barnes (D) has 54% — suggesting enough support to win the primary outright.
