Not quite. He considers himself an "Independent Democrat and is identified as such.
He caucuses with the Democrats, and anyone with an objective viewpoint not pushing an agenda or trying to win an argument considers him a Democrat.
He didn't change formally change political parties from Democrat to Independent because his political viewpoints changed. Obviously.
From his Website:
"In 2006, Senator Lieberman was elected to a fourth term as an Independent, because of the strength of his record and his accomplishments for the state. He won the general election by more than 100,000 votes. He remains committed to caucusing with Senate Democrats, but will be identified as an Independent Democrat (ID-CT)."
