HARTFORD, CONN. — Democratic challenger Ned Lamont, riding strong opposition to the war in Iraq, has surged into the lead over Senator Lieberman, a Democrat of Connecticut, in Tuesday’s Senate primary, according to a newly released Quinnipiac University poll.
Mr. Lamont leads Mr. Lieberman 54% to 41% in the poll and now has clear momentum over the three-term incumbent and former Democratic vice presidential nominee. The findings represent a setback for Mr. Lieberman, who claimed earlier this week that a July 24 visit by President Clinton had turned around his campaign.
