While it's not a poll reflecting a 2010 race, TPM reports on a poll taken among Connecticut voters regarding Sen. Joe Lieberliar's chances when he's up for re-election to the Senate in 2012. The results for holy Joe? Grim.
Among Connecticut voters overall, Lieberliar has a miserable 31% approval rating; among Democrats it's a dismal 20%. If the election were held in November, Lieberliar would lose in a landslide. That would be a fitting outcome for someone who was on the Dem ticket with Vice President Al Gore in 2000, but who was denied the Dem nomination for Senate in 2006, and who actively and enthusiastically campaigned for the Rethug Presidential ticket in 2008. After receiving support from a gracious President Obama to retain his Senate Committee positions, Lieberliar turned around and fought real health insurance reform, holding back his vote in order to defeat a public option. He can usually be counted on to block progressive legislation, teaming up with the likes of Ben "Dover" Nelson. But thankfully, it appears as though we won't have holy Joe to kick around after 2012.
