In the final hours ahead of the midterm elections, it seems like the race for Governor in Connecticut, is too close to call. According to the latest Quinnipiac University poll released earlier today, Republican Tom Foley is merely three percentages points ahead of his opponent, Democrat Dan Malloy.

The poll of 930 likely voters was conducted between October 25 to 31st .

In a last ditch effort to sway the very large and influential group of independent voters, the candidates have been stumping across the state to get their message out. Malloy, a former mayor of Stamford, recently appeared at a rally of thousands with President Barack Obama. Foley, a wealthy businessman, has been depending on support from friends and fellow GOP'ers, campaigning in his blue and red bus.

In Connecticut, 42 percent of voters consider themselves undecided, more than in any other state.

According to the poll, Independent voters shifted from 50 - 41 percent for Malloy last week to 55 - 33 percent today. In a statement, Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz said, "The late deciders are breaking for Tom Foley. There has been a big shift among independents in the final week of the campaign toward the Republican." (read more)

Standing outside City Hall in downtown Manhattan, Mayor Michael Bloomberg threw his support to the state's Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo, for the NY Governor race. The announcement came just hours after a new Quinnipiac University poll was released, showing that Cuomo's opponent, Republican Carl Paladino, is gaining momentum. Cuomo leads by 49% percent to 43% among likely voters.

While speaking to reporters, Mayor Bloomberg remarked that it is old news that the state government is in disarray , mired in dysfunction, and said the state's biggest problems are left untouched. The mayor said that Albany needs new strategies and independent leadership to work with the legislature to get things done and that is why he's endorsing the son of the former governor, Mario Cuomo.

Mayor Bloomberg praised the democratic candidate as someone who "is willing to take on the toughest issues and the biggest interest groups." He added, "...what impresses me with the most is that he doesn't do it for the cameras, he does it for the people of this state. He has been an exemplary Attorney General and I think would be a very good governor. He is willing to fight the big interest groups but he also realizes real change means reaching across the aisle, building coalitions and recognizing that no party has a monopoly on good ideas." (read more)
