Many Democrats across the nation were shocked when the people of Connecticut re-elected Joe Lieberman to be one of their United States Senators. This mistake was compounded when "Traitor Joe" actually appeared at the 2008 Republican Convention to support John McCain for president. Lieberman has been allowed to caucus with congressional Democrats, but his popularity among rank-and-file Democrats across the nation remains very low.
But there is good news. It looks like the good people of Connecticut has finally come to their senses. According to a new Public Policy Polling survey it looks like Connecticut voters are ready to kick Joe to the curb. It is still a couple of years before he must run for re-election (2012), but Lieberman has a long way to go just to get his numbers into decent territory, let alone up enough to give him a chance to win again.
Just look at these numbers for Lieberman. I think George Bush, as unpopular as he was, didn't have numbers this bad.
