"Lamont Won," Say People

According to polls done by NBC during the debate between Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) and his primary challenger Ned Lamont, the incumbent senator was the clear loser of the only debate between the two Connecticut Democrats.

The in-debate poll of nearly 2500 viewers showed that 72% believed that Lamont won the debate, while only 28% believed that Lieberman won.

However, Lamont fans shouldn't take this poll at face value. Lamont loyalists are more likely to watch the debate than the bulk of Lieberman's supporters.

But no question about it, says Matt Stoler, the debate was good for Ned Lamont.
