Six months before election day, Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell has a 77 - 11 percent approval rating and leads either of her two largely unknown Democratic challengers by margins of better than 3 - 1, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Here are the important parts:

In the DemocRAT primary, Joe Lieberman leads Ted Lamont by 65% to 19%.

If Joe Leiberman lost the primary and ran as an Independent, he would poll 56% to 13% for Ted Lamont and 10% for the unknown Alan Schlesinger.

In a theoretical Lamont/Schlesinger race without an Independent candidacy, Lamont would lead Schlesinger by 25% to 20%, with 45% undecided.

They did not poll the possibility of ex-Governor Lowell Weicker running as an Independent. Weicker is currently backing Lamont.

With a 77% approval rating, she must never have taken a position on anything.

Rowland may have been a RINO, but at least he did the honorable act by resigning. A shame other undesirable Republicans don't have a clue.

As for Lieberman, he's great on the War on Terrorism, but stinks on everything else. In a way, Lieberman is a Rudy Guliani without the personal baggage.
