Opinion can be a mile wild but an inch deep, and the fact is the economy trumped everything this recent election. While 2004 was very much about the war, it was barely even mentioned this election in comparison. If that wasn't true, wouldn't your poll suggest Obama should have gotten 66% of the vote? Probably only a small percentage of the 52% who voted for Obama were voting primarily about the war in Iraq, so it's quite a stretch to say the election was somehow a referendum on Joe Lieberman when Obama won because of the perception of Republican's mishandling of the economy.
