The Wheelhouse: Candidates Attempt to Win Hearts and Minds

Tim Cook
/
The Day
Joe Visconti, Dan Malloy, and Tom Foley debate in New London last week.

Gov. Dannel Malloy and Republican challenger Tom Foley may not be trying to make people like them, but they're trying to make the other guy look worse. Now, that Connecticut has the "least positive" race in the nation and the candidates remain in a dead heat in the polls. Malloy told WNPR earlier in the week that he isn't the most lovable guy. Meanwhile, reporters keep asking for Foley's state tax returns and he keeps refusing to hand them over.

Our weekly news roundtable looks back at a busy week on the campaign trail, and looks ahead to the last few days of the race.

GUESTS:

Tucker Ives is WNPR's morning news producer.
