Poll: Rell Fares Well; Lieberman, Dodd Do Poorly

Connecticut voters have soured on Sens. Joseph I. Lieberman and Christopher J. Dodd, but Gov. M. Jodi Rell's popularity has withstood the state's deteriorating financial picture, a new poll shows.

In the presidential race, Barack Obama maintains a lead over John McCain among likely voters in Connecticut, 49 percent to 35 percent.

The telephone survey of 500 people was conducted Sept. 19 to 23 by Pulsar Research and Consulting of Vernon. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

When asked to rate the jobs they are doing as senator, Lieberman and Dodd each drew higher negatives than positives, with Lieberman faring the worst, said Chris Barnes, the poll's director.
