The good news:
A Public Policy Poll in Connecticut gives Joe Lieberman very low ratings: 25% approval and 67% disapproval. As the poll concludes: "Barack Obama's approval rating with Connecticut Republicans is higher than Lieberman's with the state's Democrats."
The poll's interpretation attributes it to how out of touch Lieberman has become with his constituents.
Among voters who support the health care bill 87% disapprove of how Lieberman handled it with only 10% supporting it. But by voting for the final product after getting it watered down he also managed to earn the unhappiness of constituents opposed to the bill, 52% of whom say they disapprove of what Lieberman did to 33% in support
Overall just 19% of voters in the state say they like what Lieberman did on the issue with 68% opposed.
The bad news:
Lieberman's term runs until January 2013. Another three years of him gumming up the works and enjoying every revengeful minute of it.
