Lamont Trails Lieberman by 10

In a Quinnipiac University poll released today, Joe Lieberman is 10 points ahead of Democrat-annointed Ned Lamont.

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 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.

Back on Labor Day, I said that Lieberman had more popular support than Lamont. My opinion was based on the fact that while Ned Lamont had a large contingent of supporters marching with him in a local parade, Joe Lieberman received far more cheers from parade goers when he came around the bend.

Yes, there is more than a month left before election day, and things can change drastically in politics in that amount of time. But with unaffiliated voters outnumbering both Democrats and Republicans in Connecticut, the primary victory that hard left Democrats were celebrating earlier this month may be all they have to keep them warm come the chilly month of November.

hnav,

The MSM horde is keeping it zipped because to draw any attention to the race would be to show the whole country what a pathetic one-trick-pony Ned Lamont is.
