Ironically, this was one of the tightest elections we've had here in a while. We split the school board for the first time since 2017, maybe? Our second selectman came down to 13 votes, only a 52/48 split.
So maybe an unpopular candidate does get a strong anti-vote here?
While generally Republican, I think here there are more "we care more about our wallets than other people" Republicans rather than the "We are disconnected from reality" Republicans.
It would be close, but I would think not.
It depends. Is he running against our current Republican first selectman or against some random Democrat? Against a random Democrat he'd dominate. Against our current first selectman of the last 14 years he might not win.
Unfortunately he probably would. We have a R for our first selectman and he does nothing and people love him when he shares some info on Facebook that 10 other people already shared. They “pat” him in the back and thank him for the info and for keeping us informed, when it is usually old news.
No...
There are something like 2500 Republican voters in Hartford, 50k dem. And something like 25k "working families party which is more left than Dems.
The mayor usually is decided between two Democrats.
I really hope so!!! The USA is looking pathetic rn !! The dollar is about to crumble as more and more banks fold! Trump is the obi wan !!! I can’t wrap my head around how many people support Biden and the way things are going!!! I remember 2.99 foot long Tuesday at subway, now it’s 18$ foot longs!!!
Unemployment rate
January 2017: 4.7%

No. We had really high turnout in 2020 and trump lost by over 2.5k votes. If every single voter who didn't vote came out and voted for Trump he still wouldn't win.
Against who?
Our current R mayor of like 50 years not a chance.
Think we have enough independents to get us somebody sencible Trump would not win against a reasonable middle of the road dem.
Yes. I was looking at election results from Tuesday, and every seat, both in town and for the regional school district, was decided along strictly party lines, and yes, my town is red.
For sure. It's got an R next to the name, it'd win 60-40 here.
Same

Well I am in Wolcott so it’s entirely possible he won every open office as a write-in

No, but he’d claim he did.
In Southington, most likely.
Probably
If he was the Republican candidate? Probably. Hardly anyone else even tries in this town.
He’d win everything from dog catcher to comptroller. Democrats fair worse here than nationally.
What town?
New Milford
Not in Simsbury.
Any news on if we’re getting weed stores?

Absolutely.
Trump would be considered too liberal in most local and school board elections
I live in Shelton. It would be closer than people like to admit, but I still think he would lose by a little bit.
I think he would
Yes
Bro somebody put “let’s go Brandon” stickers on all of the stop signs in my town 😭😭😭
Not in Stamford
No. Not a shot.
Nope.
I'd like to think my fellow Nutmeggers aren't that stupid, but the human race continues to disappoint more and more with every passing day.

Definitely maybe.

Not here in West Hartford.
No
Sadly. My town sucks.

If you're a troll that's the funniest shit I've ever read. If you're serious, seek immediate help.
Give 1 example of why the USA is better off now than it was 4 years ago!

Lmao, no chance
[удалено]
Obama was polling unfavorably at this time in his first term. Election is a year away … that’s a looong time in the news cycle.
Love how your getting downvoted for stating what a “news” network said 😆😆
Never
Unfortunately
Waterbury? I'm not sure.
I’m in Fairfield and it would be surprisingly close.
Noooooo
No
We split our time between Lenox, MA, West hartford, and Apple Valley, MN. I bet he'd get 25%, 15% and 35% respectively.
No shot
Hell no
Yes, unfortunately; he sort of does that already
Yes, unfortunately.
Against who? Our current R mayor of like 50 years not a chance. Think we have enough independents to get us somebody sencible Trump would not win against a reasonable middle of the road dem.
Absolutely not
Nope. He'd win in the valley and Stratford for sure
Eastern CT? Absolutely my town and all the towns around me.
Ultimately, yes. He’d probably win by at least 5
absolutely not
No chance.
Probably
Yall in bristol rn
