A double-digit lead heading in to the final weekend:
Lamont, a political novice, has support from 54 percent of likely Democratic voters in the Quinnipiac University poll, while Lieberman has support from 41 percent of voters. A similar survey July 20 showed Lamont with a slight advantage for the first time in the campaign.Most of those polled (65 percent) are voting against Lieberman. They've had enough. And, they are making a statement. That's the prerogative of voters -- despite all the moaning from the chattering class.
"Senator Lieberman's campaign bus seems to be stuck in reverse," poll director Douglas Schwartz said. "Despite visits from former President Bill Clinton and other big-name Democrats, Lieberman has not been able to stem the tide to Lamont."
