Connecticut voters approve of Gov. Ned Lamont’s performance and proposed tax cuts by wide margins, while favoring higher spending in selected areas and disagreeing with Lamont’s opposition to raising taxes on wealthier households, according to a Wesleyan SurveyLab CT Poll released Monday.
The poll tracks the tensions evident at the state Capitol as the Lamont administration and lawmakers approach talks over how to accommodate demands for more spending on municipal and non-profit service providers while cutting taxes and staying within fiscal guardrails.
