The Connecticut gubernatorial election of 2006 occurred on November 7 2006. The incumbent Jodi Rell became Governor when John G. Rowland resigned in 2004. Rell whose approval rating as of October 19 2006 was 70% and her net approval rating (approval percentage less disapproval percentage) was 43% led DeStefano by a near 30-point margin consistent with opinion polls leading up to the election[citation needed].
