The race for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate has drawn national interest, and challenger Ned Lamont has a double-digit lead over incumbent Joseph I. Lieberman, according to a poll released Thursday. Some have likened the primary to a referendum on the Iraq war, which Lieberman has supported.


Unaffiliated voters are not eligible to vote in Tuesday's primary.

The Lamont campaign says the numbers show that people are responding to the challenger's message.

"We see a lot of people who want change in Washington, who are willing to step up to the plate and be involved even though they might not have been involved before in the political process," said Liz Dupont-Diehl, a Lamont campaign spokeswoman. "We've always said that this would invigorate the party."
