The new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of Connecticut provides a further data point that independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, who is next up for reelection in 2012, may be unelectable.
In a two-way race with second-term Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy, Lieberman trails Murphy by a 45%-26% margin. In a three-way race with Gov. Jodi Rell, who is retiring this year, Rell comes in first with 47%, with Murphy in a distant second at 25%, and Lieberman with 23%.
Two weeks ago, a survey from Public Policy Polling (D) found that Lieberman had alienated every partisan group in the state — Democrats, Republicans and independents — by both weakening progressive efforts on the health care bill but ultimately voting for the Senate bill itself.
