Heading into the primary home stretch in Connecticut, Ned Lamont gets some more good news:
A novice anti-war candidate seeking the Connecticut Democratic Party’s nomination to run for the U.S. Senate has extended his lead against three-term incumbent and 2000 vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman, a poll showed on Thursday.
Ned Lamont, a millionaire businessman and opponent of the U.S. military presence in Iraq, now leads rival Lieberman by 54 percent to 41 percent among those likely to vote in the August 8 primary, the Quinnipiac University poll found.
“The incumbent has just five days to turn this race around, but never count out a veteran with his experience,” said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz.
Next Tuesday is the primary and Ned still needs all the help he can get.
