Gallup: Sen. Lieberman Now More Popular With Republicans Than Democrats

The much-watched Democratic primary election in Connecticut is just four days away, and today Gallup has come out with a poll that finds incumbent Sen. Joseph Lieberman with his lowest ratings ever. "As a result," a Gallup report released this morning relates, "he is now more popular with Republicans than with supporters of his own party," surely not a good sign.

The latest Gallup poll finds that among Republicans and Republican "leaners," 46% view Lieberman favorably, while 27% view him unfavorably. Democrats are more evenly divided in their attitudes, with 38% viewing him favorably and 32% unfavorably. Currently, his support among Republicans is on the upswing. However, this is from a national sample and may not suggest a likely outcome next Tuesday.

1. Does this mean that if Holy Joe goes on to run as an Independent,

he'll take more votes away from the Republican candidate than Lamont?

Poetic justice for the Repukes...

6. the puke cadidate has troubles of his own...

In trouble with the casinos (bad gambler) and behind in the polls in a potential 3 way race. Even if Lieberman weren't to run independent, the pukes in CT haven't been able to field a strong senate candidate in the 10 years I have lived here in CT.

2. If he runs as an independent and wins will he vote with the Dems ?

3. The article stated this was a national

poll, not a local one. So its hard to tell.

5. He says he will caucus with the Dems

But...he also says he's a loyal Democrat. And all truly loyal people run on a third party ticket when they lose the primary.

Joe Lieberman (I) for Senate. The I stands for Incumbent.

Joe Lieberman of the Incumbent Party wants your vote in November.

4. Maybe he should move to a moderate Republican state?
