Polls
No one wants any poll to show them down 17 points. Or the UConn/Hartford Courant poll that showed down only seven points less than ten days ago. We weren’t even happy with the Zogby poll that showed us down six points yesterday.
I don’t know precisely what to make of today’s poll – - still waiting to hear what the R/D/I breakdown was, cause that isn’t released in the cross-tabs. I also know that it doesn’t track with our internal numbers, and probably not Joe’s either (given their whining the past few days).
We still have another debate left, prime time on Monday night. The current q-poll doesn’t include last night’s debate. We have a record ad buy running next week that Joe Lieberman can’t match. And Lord knows our ground game is unrivaled by any other major or minor party candidate in the race. The q-poll has a history of being off by double digits in this race (see, primary). Then there’s the absolute wild-card of Joe’s ballot placement.
But the one thing, above all else, that this campaign has going for it is this: We are right on the issues the people of Connecticut care about.
On November 7, the people of CT are going to stare down at their ballots and see a change agent vs. the embodiment of many of the problems in Washington, D.C. From Iraq, special interest influence and a career politician who (outside of just being dead wrong on Iraq) sticks his finger in the wind to gauge the prevailing winds before taking a stand on important issues like Social Security: Joe Lieberman is part of the problem.
Ned Lamont is the agent of change in this race, people want change, and we mean to deliver it.
