Low Joe

The residents of the great state of Connecticut seem less than thrilled that their Senator, Joe Lieberman (Connecticut for Lieberman - I) has taken to touring the country in support of George Bush's third term. According to a new Quinnipiac University poll (6/26-29, n=2,515, MoE +/-2%):

Sen. Joseph Lieberman gets a 45 - 43 percent approval, down from 52 - 35 percent March 27 and his lowest score ever.

"Sen. Lieberman's approval rating has dropped below 50 percent for the first time in 14 years of polling, with nearly two-thirds of Democrats giving him low marks, probably because he is campaigning for Sen. John McCain," Dr. Schwartz said.

This includes 62% disapproval among Democrats in the state. As Markos pointed out last fall, Joe wouldn't have a shit at a rematch with Lamont. Fool me once, and whatnot.
