Connecticut, the third smallest state by area, lies in the south of the New England region of the US. It is a developed and affluent state and is home to Yale University as well as prestigious boarding schools in and around the ‘Knowledge Corridor’. It is considered a blue state and the last Republican presidential candidate to win its votes in the Electoral College was George H W Bush in 1988.
