2006 Senate Primary: Lieberman is in trouble

Via Kos...

Quinnipiac Univ. 3/29-4/4. MoE 2.5% (No trend lines.)

Lieberman approval ratings
            All    GOP    Dem
Approve      67     72     66
Disapprove   22     18     23

Lieberman deserves reelection?
            All    GOP    Dem
Yes          66     73     65
No           25     22     25

Senator Lieberman is more popular with Republicans and more loathed by Democrats?

These are appalling numbers. But it seems way premature to say Lieberman is "in trouble" when he enjoys overwhelming support from both parties. As nice as it would be if all his Democratic supporters would do a 180 the moment they realized Republicans like him too, I need to see something more than this to buy it.

I have a very strong feeling that among likely CT Dem primary voters - ie, the "most liberal" and most activist segment of the party - Lieberman's numbers are a lot uglier. It's hard to poll a group like that so far in advance, but I definitely think a serious challenge could be mounted.
