All UNH Survey Center Polls
Abstract
A majority of Connecticut Republicans oppose the U.S. Senate ending the filibuster rule, despite repeated requests by President Trump to do away with the long-standing practice. Trump also proposed eliminating mail-in voting nationwide, a proposal supported by state Republicans but rejected by nearly half of statewide residents. Connecticut residents overwhelmingly support federal workers who were furloughed or continued working during the shutdown receiving backpay while a majority support extending Obamacare premium subsidies. Approval of President Trump's handling of the economy has declined, with tariffs cited as the reason by both those who approve and who disapprove. Half of Connecticut residents disapprove of recent strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats off the Venezuelan coast while a majority oppose trying to remove Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro from power using the military.
