Anti-war Connecticut U.S. Senate candidate Ned Lamont has surged to a razor-thin 51 - 47 percent lead over incumbent Sen. Joseph Lieberman among likely Democratic primary voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
This compares to a 55 - 40 percent lead for Sen. Lieberman among likely Democratic primary voters in a June 8 poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.
The moment Lieberman decided that he would run as an independent if he lost the Democratic primary, this poll became a foregone conclusion. Can you imagine how Republicans would have jumped ship on Arlen Spector if he did the same thing in 2004 against Pat Toomey? That's what is happening here. As much as we Republicans cheer on Lieberman's decision, party faithful see actions like his as horribly disloyal. These poll numbers are no surprise.
