by Damozel | His fellow villagers in the Democratic caucus may be willing to forgive and forget. His constitutents? Not so much, or at least not yet.

A new Quinnipiac poll shows Lieberman's approval rating tanking after voters watched their independent senator act like a Republican attack dog for the better part of 2008.
Lieberman ... had the approval of 38 percent and the disapproval of 54 percent of voters.
The rating was the worst of any senator in a Quinnipiac poll since Robert Torricelli of New Jersey was forced to resign in 2002.
Jed added, "The Q-Poll's numbers reflect Lieberman's abysmal showing in last month's Research 2000 poll conducted for Daily Kos, which showed Lieberman with a 36/61 approval rating. In that poll, 48% said they would definitely vote to replace Lieberman, and another 18% said they'd consider replacing him."
According to Benen, the Democratic caucus was going to send him a formal letter of admonishment, but apparently decided against such harsh, punitive action.
