http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/09/AR2006080900405.html ------------------------------------------------- The poll showed 36 percent of respondents said they were in favor of the war -- half the peak 72 percent who supported the war as it began, said the poll of 1,047 Americans. The telephone survey, which had an error margin of 3 percentage points, showed 61 percent believed at least some U.S. troops should be withdrawn from Iraq by the end of 2006. Voter anger over the Iraq war, plagued by insurgent and sectarian violence with a daily civilian death toll, was cited in the Connecticut Democratic primary defeat Tuesday of U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, who strongly backed President George W. Bush's war effort.

Lieberman lost the Dem primary because the party base voted, and not the average voter. There were about 10% of general election voters who actually voted in the primary. Poll number don't mean a damned thing, because you can change the results of a poll by changing/nuancing the questions, shading the answers, etc. Without seeing the actual poll questions, allowed answers, and the demographics of the people they polled it is impossible to say how truly representative the poll is.
