Description"Connecticut voters give Gov. Jodi Rell an overwhelming 80 - 4 percent approval rating, the highest ever measured for a governor in any state surveyed by the Quinnipiac University poll, except for 81 percent for New York Gov. George Pataki a few weeks after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

Even Democrats approve 75 - 5 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh- pe-ack) University poll finds.

In an early look at the 2006 governor's race, Gov. Rell gets 45 percent with 43 percent for Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd. Rell tops other Democratic contenders:

* 46 - 40 percent over Attorney General Richard Blumenthal;
* 59 - 22 percent over Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz;
* 60 - 23 percent over Lt. Gov. Kevin Sullivan;
* 59 - 22 percent over New Haven Mayor John DeStefano;
* 61 - 18 percent over Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy."
