(I posted this over at It’s About the Money Stupid earlier today, and I thought I’d share it with you guys as well.)
While New England has always been considered a stronghold for Red Sox Nation, the state of Connecticut has been a battleground for team supremacy between the Yankees and Red Sox. According to the latest annual Quinnipiac University poll, it appears the Yankees are winning.
“Forty-three percent of baseball fans surveyed in the poll, which has an error margin of 2.6 percentage points, support the Yankees. Thirty-eight percent said they are fans of the Sox.”
You can take this poll for what it’s worth, but the sub-3% margin of error shows that it’s probably pretty accurate. Perhaps of greatest interest to me was that 7% of those polled indicated they preferred the Mets. Funny, I didn’t know so many Connecticut residents were masochists. I guess you learn something new every day.
