My Left Nutmeg was discussing the final # of a new Rasmussen poll released a while ago.
The final numbers from Rasmussen, after surveying 550 "likely voters on August 9 & 10 (i.e. post-primary):
Lieberman 46%
Lamont 41%
Schlessinger 6%
That's more than the 3% spread they teased. Other highlights:
Very unfavorable: 18% Lieberman vs. 23% Lamont
Very favorable: 31% Lieberman vs. 19% Lamont
Rell beats DeStefano 57% to 35%
Voters trust Lieberman over Lamont on the "War on Terror" 55% to 31%.
Most important issues are theconomy (37%), Iraq (23%), and national security (16%).
They claim a MOE of + or - 4% with a 95% level of certainty
I actually like these #s, better than I expected. The bottom line is that Lamont's base votes are above 40%.
375 were sampled last night with Lieberman leading by 3% and the rest of 175 were sampled tonight. So obviously, the terror scare has some significant impact to voters' psychology.
