Poll indicates that Lieberman could be vulnerable in a Dem primary
Advertisements [?]
Overall according to a Survey USA poll of 600 adults it would seem that Lieberman is in a strong position. He has a 63-31 percent approval rating. BUT among Democrats his approval rating is 59-36 percent and among liberals, which includes the activists who actually turn out in a Democratic primary Lieberman's approval rating is only 52-41 percent. Lieberman is strongest with Republicans where he has a 69-24 percent approval rating.

What this tells me is that it could, potentially, be more difficult for Lieberman to win the Democratic primary than the general election. You can bet that in a Democratic primary liberal/progressives would turn out in force to send Lieberman and other pro-war Democrats a message. A well-financed (Move-On has indicated it would help fund a democratic primary challenge to Lieberman)respectable Democratic challenge to Lieberman focused on the war in Iraq has the potential, imo, of defeating the Senator in the primary.
