A new survey shows many Connecticut voters might like Gov. Dannel Malloy as a person, but they're not happy with the job he's doing running the state.
The poll Quinnipiac University released on Wednesday shows 47 percent of registered voters like Malloy as a person, regardless of how they feel about the Democrat's policies. Seventeen percent don't like Malloy and 37 percent said they don't know enough to form an opinion.
Voters disapprove, 44 percent to 37 percent, of the job Malloy is doing.
The highest job approval rating Malloy as received since taking office in January 2011 was a March 21, 2012 poll that showed voters approved of the way Malloy is handling his job as governor, 44 percent to 45 percent.
"We have tried to be consistent in not saying much about polls because -- what's there to say? Polls come and go, numbers go up and down,” Roy Occhiogrosso, senior advisor to the governor, said in a statement released on Wednesday. “The Governor always does what he thinks is best for the state and the right thing to do."
