polls...
Quinnipiac University has released its latest poll on the two Democratic primaries.
Anti-war challenger Ned Lamont has taken a slim lead over three-term incumbent U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman among likely Democratic primary voters - 51-47 percent.
Lieberman, however, still wins in a three -way battle in the he November election running as an indenpendent candidate - Lieberman 51-percent, Lamont 27 percent, Alan Schlesinger, 9-percent.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell still maintains a strong lead over both her Democratic challengers, 62-25 against New Haven Mayor John DeStefano and 64-23 over Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy.
Fifty-one percent of voters still say they don't know enough about DeStefano to have an opinion on him, while 75 percent have no opinion on Malloy.
DeStefano holds a comfortable lead over Malloy in a match up among likely Democratic primary voters, 52-32 percent.
Here's how the Malloy camp responded today....
"We believe that a significant percentage of true primary voters are just starting to focus on this primary race, which is why we are just now ramping up a very intense and highly focused final phase of our paid communications plan (TV, mail, etc.). Conversely, our opponent chose to go very heavy on TV very early. The bottom line is that we have a strategy that is all about timing and execution -- talk to the right voters at the right times in the right ways. Focused, deliberate, and disciplined. We have built a strong statewide operation that will lead to victory on Election Day -- the same kind of operation that carried the Democratic convention. The Malloy for Governor Team is very much looking forward to Primary Day!"

There is no denying that Lamont's surge is impressive. And the polls results confirm what I said in one of my columns a couple of months ago that the Aug. 8 primary is a referendum on George Bush and the Iraq War - period. And Lieberman is a lightening rod.
