Very, Very Unpopular Joe

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT)

Last night I noted that Richard Blumenthal’s decision to run for Chris Dodd’s seat in Connecticut had at least marginally improved Joe Lieberman’s chances of getting reelected in 2012. But now we have another sign of just how unpopular Lieberman is post-Health Care Reform antics. Joe was already really unpopular among Connecticut Democrats. His approval among state Dems is now down to 14%. And his overall approval in the state is 25% in the state overall with 67% disapproval.

That’s much, much more unpopular than Joe was even a couple months ago.
