Q-Poll: Lamont 51%, Lieberman 47% (LV)

Lamont is over 50% in the latest Quinnipiac Poll.

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.


The margin of error of this poll is +/- 3.8, which means technically this is now a dead heat. But even with the large sample size, their LV model is unproven. And this means Lieberman is now going to dump every dirty trick and negative ad - probably $5 million worth - into desperately trying to save his political career, because he knows if he loses the primary, that downward momentum will carry into November. There are two and a half very long weeks to go. This is no time to rest.
