Sen. Joe Lieberman has a 10-point advantage over Democrat Ned Lamont among likely Connecticut voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

 

Lieberman, a three-term Democrat running as an independent after losing the party nomination in a primary, is favored by 49 percent to 39 percent over Lamont in the three-way race. Republican Alan Schlesinger trails with 5 percent.

 

The race has tightened slightly since an Aug. 17 poll that showed Lieberman leading 53 percent to 41 percent.

 

"Ned Lamont has lost momentum," said poll director Douglas Schwartz said. "He's gained only two points in six weeks. He's going to have to do something different in the next six weeks or ... Lieberman stays in for another six years."

 

The race is seen as many as a referendum on President Bush's handling of the Iraq war. Lamont, a political newcomer and multimillionaire, ran on an anti-war platform to upset Lieberman in the Aug. 8 primary.

 

Lieberman, the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2000, is a staunch supporter of the war.

 

The Quinnipiac poll showed that Lieberman has higher favorability ratings among likely voters, 51 percent to Lamont's 31 percent. While Lamont has slightly higher favorability numbers among Democrats (47 percent to 43 percent), Lieberman far outdistances his challenger among likely Republican and unaffiliated voters. Seventy percent of Republicans view Lieberman favorably compared to 12 percent for Lamont, and 48 percent of independent voters view Lieberman favorably compared to 30 percent for Lamont.

 

Unaffiliated voters outnumber Democrats and Republicans in the state.

 

"Lamont wins among those who say Iraq is the most important issue to their vote, but that is only 35 percent of the electorate," Schwartz said. "Lieberman wins on all the other issues voters say matter most to them, including terrorism and the economy."

 

The telephone poll was conducted between Sept. 21-25. Quinnipiac surveyed 1,181 likely voters and the poll has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

I didn't realize Lieberman was so conservative. I knew he wasn't a typical commie pinko democrat, but never realized he was THAT conservative.

most democrats are probably less liberal than you believe. are you getting the sense that the shows you listen/watch are marketing to you and winning out most of the time? It's the same with the left's view of republicans and the shows they listen/watch.

Don't mind Accord. He lives in the same place as Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, and Rush Limbaugh.

 

That place? Crazy Town.

Come on dude, the guy's an egomaniacal windbag. How is it that people like him?

 

Forget his political leanings, the man's a putz.

 

 

& good for Lieberman. I wouldn't vote for him but at least it shows you can win as an Independent.

I think everyone hates liberal or conservative pundits, depending whose the opposite of your own leanings.

 

I mean is there a single person who likes a talking head or radio personality that is against their own views?

Well unfortunately the most popular talking heads are the most annoying (but therefore get the most attention)

 

Talk radio it seems goes for the least common denominator, because the far right & far left are just DYING to be told what they want to hear. It's why I listen to NPR sometimes, which despite the liberal slant at least has some educated, rational discussions. Otherwise you get blowhards that all sound like Rush Limbaugh or Michael Moore or Ann Coulter.

 

There's plenty of newspaper columnists on the right that I respect. I like George Will, for example. I like William Safire.

I don't think so. I'm not the one who agrees with EVERYTHING my party does.

 

For example, I disagree with their idea of giving amnesty to illegals.

Don't mind FutureGM. He lives in the same place as Al Franken, Michael Moore, George Soros, Ted Kennedy, and Hugo Chavez.

But you agree with about 90% of what the Democratic Party says based on what I've read. That's partisan. That's hardcore partisanship.

 

Why don't you just accept it?

 

I'm partisan and proud.

 

I forgot, admitting you're a hardcore Democrat isn't anything to be proud of these days. :mischief j/k
