A new Sacred Heart University poll finds that Connecticut residents approve of the job done so far by Gov. Ned Lamont during the coronavirus pandemic.

The poll surveyed 1,000 Connecticut residents on questions about how Lamont and other state officials have been handling the pandemic in the state.

It also gauged the economic toll on residents and the state, and examined timing and logistical issues related to attempts to manage and mitigate fallout from the crisis.

General reaction to Lamont’s response indicated confidence in the way he and his team are managing the pandemic.

Among those surveyed, 65% say they approve of the way the governor has handled the coronavirus crisis.

Additionally, 53.5% reported they approve of the way Lamont is “instilling confidence in state leadership."

When asked about planning, 51.6% reported they approve of the way Lamont is “addressing a plan for Connecticut residents and families.”

However, only 45% reported they approve of the way Lamont is “addressing a plan for businesses in the state."
