79 Percent of Democrats Happy With Lieberman Defeat


Seventy-nine percent of Democrats in the nation are happy that Ned Lamont defeated Sen. Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut primary, according to the latest Zogby Interactive Poll.

Seventy-one percent of Democrats are not happy about Lieberman's plans to run as an Independent.

In addition, 70% said they think the Lamont victory makes the Democratic Party stronger heading into the important election season.

More than three-quarters of Democrats (78%) said they want candidates who opposes the conflict, while just 6% said they think their Democratic candidates should support the war. Another 13% said they want their candidates to take a middling stance somewhere between support and opposition.
