Times’ Silver Predicts Malloy Win By 6 Points.

Political numbers analyst Nate Silver, who won renown with his Five Thirty Eight, is now associated with The New York Times. The respected polling guru is out with the first of weekly measures of contests for governor across the nation.

Silver predicts Democrat Dannel Malloy defeating Republican Tom Foley by 6 points, 51-45. This comes close to what we are hearing some private polls are showing. This will come as encouraging news for Republicans who have been concerned that the Foley campaign has stalled since his narrow August 10th primary victory.
