ahead by 5% with 4.5% margain of error! I’m so excited for Lamont, Lieberman will lose most of the Democratic vote over the next few weeks, so i think Lamont will edge out a win.
Fantastic!
Fantastic on the Lieberman winning the poll, just to be clear.
James – Lieberman could be up by 9.5% 🙂
9.5% 🙂
Thats why i dont like 500 person polls.
500 people doesn’t seem like enough to start a poll. Lamont has got the win locked.
500 people is fine for a state as small as Connecticut. It’s the randomness of the sample that makes it effective, and 4.5% is kind of high.
The lead isn’t the difference. It’s that Lamont only has 41% of the state, which is basement for a Democrat. If the Republican’s pull their candidate, it’s over.
500 is an odd number. Why they didn’t increase the sample size to reduce the margin of error, I don’t know.
Some earlier polls had Lieberman winning as an independent even with the Republican candidate in the race. As I said earlier, all those I’s changing their registrations to D in order to vote in the primary obviously didn’t all vote for Lamont; I think they changed to vote for Lieberman which is why the Lamont margin of victory was so small.
I think you’re dead-on right
