The Wrap puts aside gift-wrapping and toy-assembling long enough to put together a Christmas Eve edition. There is but one new poll to report (and don't expect any through the weekend, either), although there actually are a handful of campaign stories to report.
CT-Sen: America Not Feeling Lieberman As Kingmaker
Connecticut "Independent Democrat" Joe Lieberman was one of the biggest names in the recent health care debate, and he clearly delighted in his role as kingmaker. But did his machinations actually hurt his standing with the American people? According to new national numbers courtesy of CNN (PDF File), we can see that it did. Just three weeks ago, Lieberman had a net +12 favorability with the American people (40/28). Today? His favorabilities sit at a slightly chillier net of negative three (31/34). That is a fifteen-point shift in net favorability. In three weeks. Happy Holidays, Senator!!
