The latest poll in the Connecticut Democratic Senate primary set for next Tuesday has more bad news for Senator Joe Lieberman:
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Embattled Sen. Joe Lieberman is trailing businessman Ned Lamont by double digits in the race for the Connecticut Democratic Senate nomination, a new poll released this morning shows.
The Quinnipiac University poll gives Lamont a 54 percent to 41 percent lead among likely Democratic primary voters and is the latest indication that the three-term incumbent is in serious danger of losing the Democratic primary next Tuesday. A poll released by the university on July 20 indicated that Lamont held a 51 percent to 47 percent advantage over Lieberman.
“Sen. Lieberman’s campaign bus seems to be stuck in reverse,” Quinnipiac University Polling Director Douglas Schwartz said in statement accompanying the poll’s release. “Despite visits from former President Bill Clinton and other big name Democrats, Lieberman has not been able to stem the tide to Lamont.”
But Schwartz added that with five days remaining, Lieberman still has time to turn things around.
Possible, but not likely at this point. At this point, it looks like Lieberman will have to count on running as an Independent if he wants to stay in the Senate.
