Hartford – Bucking national trends, a survey of Connecticut residents shows that they believe the state is headed in the right direction. The public affairs firm Tremont Public Advisors conducted a survey of 1,352 Connecticut residents between 10/28-10/31/21 in which 57% of respondents indicated they believed the state was headed in the right direction as opposed to 43% who felt Connecticut was seriously headed on the wrong track. The results of this survey contrast with recent national polling indicating that most Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction[1][2].
“The results of this survey are good news for Connecticut businesses and the leaders of state government. No matter the concerns Connecticut residents may have about the direction of our nation as a whole, they feel fairly optimistic about Connecticut’s future.” stated Matt Hennessy managing director of Tremont Public Advisors. “If residents believe our state is headed in the right direction, they are more likely to have positive expectations of economic growth which is good for businesses. Residents are also more likely to look favorably on the policies by state leaders they believe steered Connecticut on a positive path.”

Methodology
Between 10/28/21 and 10/31/21 Tremont Public Advisors conducted a survey of 1,352 Connecticut residents over age 18 who expressed an opinion about the direction of the state using an on-line survey platform. Respondents were allowed to take the survey only once and were restricted from choosing more than one answer. The answer choices were shown in a random order. The poll population consisted of Connecticut internet users viewing content on a network of web publisher sites on both mobile and desktop devices. The survey answers have a MMOE of no more than +/- 2.5%.
Gender, age and location of the survey respondents were inferred by data correlated to the I.P. address of the respondent. The survey used statistical weighting procedures to account for deviations in the survey sample from known population characteristics, which helps correct for differential survey participation and random variation in samples. The overall adult sample is weighted based on U.S. Census data using a procedure to match the demographic makeup of the target population of Connecticut internet users by gender, age and geography.
The survey was designed and paid for by Tremont Public Advisors, LLC.
