In Connecticut, Lamont Grabs Lead Over Lieberman

In Connecticut, Lamont Grabs Lead Over Lieberman

I'm trying to stay in my Iowa niche and the national blogs have Connecticut carpet-covered. Still, this poll is a landmark worth sharing:

In the Connecticut U.S. Senate race, Ned Lamont (D) has surged ahead of Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) and now holds a razor-thin 51% to 47% lead among likely Democratic primary voters, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.

In possible general election matchups:

  • Lieberman defeats Republican challenger Alan Schlesinger 68% to 15%
  • Lamont beats Schlesinger 45% to 22%, with 24% undecided
  • Running as an independent, Lieberman gets 51%, to 27% for Lamont and 9% for Schlesinger.


  • That last item is unfortunate - but I suspect once the reality of Traitor, Sore Loser Joe sinks in his numbers will drop. The Republicans meanwhile are trying to squeeze out their candidate and recruit a stronger contender. In fact, some were trying to recruit Lieberman, and it took him waaaay too long to deny it
