On the Huffington Post, Sam Stein reports that Joe Lieberman’s home state approval ratings are sinking faster than Tiger Woods’ bank account.

(Actually, probably a close call.)

More than 80 percent (81 percent) of Democrats now say they disapprove of the job Lieberman is doing with only 14 percent approving. Among Republicans, 48 percent disapprove of the senator with just 39 approving. And among independents, 61 percent disapprove of Lieberman’s antics with just 32 percent approving.

“It all adds up to a 25% approval rating with 67% of his constituents giving him bad marks,” the study concludes.

According to Public Policy Polling, only 19% of all Connecticut voters like Lieberman’s desperate and pathetic maneuvering on the health care issue.

This will be very interesting. What Lieberman does in politics has always ultimately been determined by his most craven impulses: ambition, the lust for attention and power, a needy desire to be well thought-of on the home front. These numbers are going to freak him out.

Good! Maybe he’ll announce his retirement along with Chris Dodd. Either that, or start playing some sort of constructive role in public life for a change.
