In other words, even in Connecticut, the people are overwhelming rejecting socialism!

While people like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) or Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) draw more attention nationally for their ongoing budget battles, it may well be Gov. Malloy (D) of CT who represents the best litmus test of whether a tough medicine approach can win over voters.

Unlike Wisconsin or Ohio, Connecticut is a Democratic-tilting state and Gov. Malloy enjoys considerable margins in both the state House and state Senate. As a result, the budget battle in Connecticut is far less likely to devolve into a purely partisan squabble.

How Gov. Malloy succeeds (or fails) will provide a telling example for governors across the nation about how to navigate the politics of unpopularity amid tough choices on their state budgets.

Connecticut's governor, Dannel Malloy, gets no honeymoon as voters disapprove 40 - 35 percent of the job he is doing, with 25 percent undecided, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Voters are optimistic, 55 - 39 percent, about the next four years under Gov. Malloy, the independent Quinnipiac University poll finds. And they say 89 - 7 percent that Malloy's town hall meetings to discuss the budget and the economy is a good idea.
