The Flawed Quinnipiac Poll in the CT Senate Race

Well once again the press has announed the results of a poll in the CT Senate race and have completely misread the numbers. The Quinnipiac poll uses 1500 registered voters. This is a problem because only Democrats can vote in the Democratic primary. The poll showed support for Lieberman around 59% and Lamont around 30%. However, a more accurate poll of "registered Democrats", the primary voters that count, performed by Rasmusson shows Lieberman at 51% and Lamont at 30% a big difference. There is roughly only two weeks left before the Democratic State Convention in CT and it looks like no matter what the results, Lamont may be able to force a primary challenge in August.
