Some Joe Polls

According to an exit poll in Connecticut (published by Political Wire) about 40% of those who voted for Lieberman opposed the war in Iraq. However, a majority of primary voters said they thought Lieberman was too close to the President. The poll suggests that it was opposition to the President -- and not opposition to the war --that carried Lamont's victory. This is an interesting bit, particularly as pundits struggle to paint Lamont's victory, and anti war sentiment, as products of the fringes and not the mainstream.
