Lieberman Slipping Among Democrats

The Hartford Courant reports:

A new poll shows that U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman's support among fellow Democrats fell significantly in the past six months as he has become increasingly associated with an unpopular war in Iraq.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday suggests that Lieberman's outspoken support for the war has cost him in his own party: Republican and unaffiliated voters overwhelmingly endorse his job performance, while his approval among Democrats dropped from 70 to 55 percent.
