Christine O'Donnell is 6 points off Coons (TCJ)
The Conservative Journal ^ | October 28, 2010 | techno

Posted on 10/28/2010 8:53:23 PM PDT by techno

An analysis of TCJ's last poll conducted Oct 23-25 that provides evidence why Fairleigh-Dickinson that showed Coons with a 21 point lead is not accurate.

Maybe Coons was up 21 points before Obama started campaigning for him. An Obama endorsement is probably worth negative 10 points, and a Biden endorsement is probably good for negative 5.

If we could arrange for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to make a joint appearance on Coons' behalf, O'Donnell could probably win walking away.

The Leftist are really setting themselves up for egg in the face, if the lady and the voters can pull this one out.

Delaware Senate: Our polling for this race has largely shown a result that’s more favorable to O’Donnell, though recent polling by Tea Party Express has corroborated our 6-point O’Donnell deficit. Polls that give Coons a lead of 18, 19, and 20 points are, much like in the case of the California races, using inaccurate numbers to represent the composition of voters. For example, the Fairleigh Dickinson poll released today showed O’Donnell down 21 points, largely because, as the poll showed, O’Donnell was only shown to be receiving support from only 74% of conservatives. In our poll, O’Donnell was shown to receive support from 89% of voters who identify themselves as conservatives. The discrepancy, it seems, could stem from the date of the Dickinson poll; it was taken over 6 days from October 20 to 26. During that time span, O’Donnell has gained traction by showing that she isn’t quite as crazy as the media would like for you to believe. Additionally, our poll shows less of a gap between Coons and O’Donnell among unaffiliated voters, though Coons does still hold a lead. The likely voter electorate was composed of 32%-Republicans, 43%- Democrats, 24%- Independents.

If O’Donnell gets the GOP united behind her and the Independent vote breaks her way, she can win this.

Or maybe if Rove and the RNC hadn’t trashed her, she’d be higher.

Maybe, but doubt it. The average voter doesn’t even know who Rove is, or what he does.

The only one that matters.

Polls aren’t elections. If the turnout factors as heavily as some say it will, it could come down to what the weather is like that day. Good luck to Christine!

Their analysis sites the FDU numbers wrong.

According to FDU, it’s 66% of Conservatives, not 74% of Conservatives. They probably subtracted the 26 from the 100.

Saw Christine on Hannity.

Something special is happening in Delaware.

First time voters in the 40s 50s 60s. They aren’t going to show up in the polls as likely voters.

I can believe that.

Rove’s and the RNC’s approval would have meant $ for advertising, and since the elitist R’s who have been apparently trying to get Coons elected have been on TV, from what I gather, no doubt they have had some influence.

AFAIC, they’re worse than Coons. Much worse.

maybe rove should have kept his thoughts to himself.

and if they defeated R candidate and his sponsors had gotten on board it wouldn’t have been such a big uphill fight.
