ARG: Lieberman (R) 44, Lamont (D) 42, Schlesinger (R) 3
This is the second poll out today that shows the race in a statistical dead heat:
In light of these trends, and if only to save himself further embarrassment and humiliation, Sen. Lieberman needs to reconsider accepting the results of the primary.
Joe Lieberman and Ned Lamont are in a statistical tie in the race for United States Senate in Connecticut according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. Among likely voters in November, 44% say they would vote for Lieberman, 42% say they would vote for Lamont, 3% say they would vote for Alan Schlesinger, and 11% are undecided.
Lieberman leads Lamont 57% to 18% among enrolled Republicans and 48% to 38% among unaffiliated (independent) voters. Lamont leads Lieberman 65% to 30% among enrolled Democrats.
In light of these trends, and if only to save himself further embarrassment and humiliation, Sen. Lieberman needs to reconsider accepting the results of the primary.

That wont happen (hoping Lieberman will drop out) till there are polls (either the standard ones or Lieberman's internals) that show him behind in the race, and perhaps decisively behind.
If Lieberman is going to lose anyway, why do you care if he drops out? Isn't it better for Lamont that he be defeated outright?
