Ok so it’s been about a week since the “shocking” defeat of Lieberman at the hands of Lamont and the polls aren’t pointing where the DNC would like them to point.
Just 4 days after the Primary in Connecticut Independent Candidate Joe Lieberman is pulling in 46% with Lamont pulling in about 41% with the GOP Candidate Alan Schlesinger with just 6%.
Other findings in the poll are that 57% see Lieberman as politically moderate; 51% see Lamont as liberal.
52% of potential Lamont voters feel that Bush should be impeached and removed from office; 15% of potential Lieberman voters share this view.
55% of voters trust Lieberman when it comes to the War on Terror; 31% trust Lamont.
Lieberman’s numbers for “favorable opinion” / “unfavorable opinion” are 31%/18% while Lamont’s fall in the 19%/23% range.
65% of unaffiliated voters favor Lieberman; 49% favor Lamont.
The race in Connecticut looks like it will shape up to be one of the more interesting to track this year as Lieberman isn’t fading into the dust as the DNC was predicting.
