More on Those Exit Polls

CBS News posted extensive analysis of the exit polls we reported on earlier.

Key takeaway: "Lieberman kept it close by capturing the votes of those who made up their minds in the last few days of the campaign, closing a gap that had been much wider."

New detail: "In a hypothetical three-way race against Lamont and Schlesinger, Lamont would earn 49% of the votes of these Democratic primary voters, and Lieberman would receive 36%. Among Lieberman voters, three out of four say they will support Lieberman again under those circumstances; 16% are not sure, and 6% say they will vote for Lamont. Lamont retains more of his voters; 88% of them say they would vote for him in November."

Meanwhile, Strategic Telemetry provides additional analysis of the vote, noting Lamont's victory was widespread across Connecticut. "Lamont carried seven of Connecticutís eight counties, and 125 of the 169 municipalities. Lamont carried both of Connecticutís media markets, doing slightly better in the New York market, where he got 52.5% of the vote, than he did in the Hartford / New Haven market, where he got 51.6%."
