Poll: Obama Has Big Lead Over McCain In Connecticut, Hillary Winning Narrowly
A new Quinnipiac poll of Connecticut gives Barack Obama a much firmer grip on the state than Hillary Clinton for the general election:
Clinton (D) 45%, McCain (R) 42%
Obama (D) 52%, McCain (R) 35%
From the internals: Obama wins independents 45%-38% over McCain, while McCain wins independents 48%-36% against Hillary.
Obama narrowly won the Connecticut primary on Super Tuesday, and has since picked up the endorsement of Sen. Chris Dodd — while John McCain is of course supported by the state's other Senator, Joe Lieberman.

This is what we've been trying to say. Independents are going to be the key in the general. Will Hillary Clinton secure Independents? No! She won't! Obama is more electable here!

This strikes me as the voters of Connecticut owning up to their terrible mistake in re-electing Lieberman, and trying to make up for it.
Damn. I wish Lieberman was up for election this year...
