Rell leads Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy by a margin of 65% to 21%. She leads New Haven Mayor John DeStefano 65% to 19%. Crosstabs are available for Premium Members. The other major Election 2006 campaign in Connecticut features Senator Joe Lieberman's bid for re-election. In a two-party race, Lieberman would be an overwhelming favorite. However, a potential third party campaign by Lowell Weicker could make the Senate race interesting. [More Below]
