The latest Quinnipiac Poll says it is too close to call in the hotly contested battle between Democrats Ned Lamont and Dannel Malloy in Tuesday's gubernatorial primary.
Lamont has led Malloy in the polls for more than six months, but Malloy has been deploying a come-from-behind strategy that focuses on the "prime'' voters who have a long history of voting in Democratic primaries.
Lamont took the lead on the Democratic side when Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz dropped out of the race in January in her attempt to run for the U.S. Senate.
The Quinnipiac Poll traditionally is released at 6:30 a.m., but it was delayed Monday.
The polls are open from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. Tuesday.
The final Quinnipiac Poll in the 2006 race showed that Lamont would defeat Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman in the Democratic primary by 6 percentage points. The final count showed Lamont winning by 4 points.
