“Sen. Lieberman’s campaign bus seems to be stuck in reverse.  Despite visits from former President Bill Clinton and other big name Democrats, Lieberman has not been able to stem the tide to Lamont,” said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D.

“The incumbent has just five days to turn this race around, but never count out a veteran with his experience.”

“Three months ago, Lamont was virtually unheard of, except perhaps on the blogs. As Democrats get to know Lamont better, they like what they see.  Lamont has established himself as a credible alternative to Lieberman,” Dr. Schwartz added.
