POLL: Christine O'Donnell Takes Lead Over Mike Castle in Delaware Senate Race

(WILMINGTON, DE) - Confirming poll results from a Tea Party Express commissioned poll last week (which showed Mike Castle leading Christine O'Donnell by just a 43%-41% margin), a new poll shows Conservative Republican Christine O'Donnell continuing her surge in the Delaware U.S. Senate race.

A new Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey released Sunday evening shows O'Donnell has in fact now surged into the lead over liberal Mike Castle.

The poll results were as follows:

Christine O'Donnell: 47%

Mike Castle: 44%

The poll also showed 55% of likely Republican voters think Mike Castle is 'too liberal' which echoes the message the Tea Party Express has delivered via hundreds of thousands of dollars in TV, radio, newspaper and online ads - as well as 80,000 mailers delivered to Delaware Republican households.  You can see these ads by the Tea Party Express below.

Furthermore, among those Republicans who consider themselves part of the tea party movement (estimated by PPP to be 25%) O'Donnell leads Castle 79%-18%.

Among self-described "conservatives" O'Donnell holds a commanding lead over the liberal Castle.  O'Donnell earns the support of 62% of conservatives versus only 31% for Castle.  Conservatives are expected to comprise a significant portion of the GOP primary electorate in Tuesday's election.

Mike Castle's approval rating has plummeted as well - in direct response to the Tea Party Express's campaign efforts.  In an August PPP poll, Mike Castle had a favorable/unfavorable rating of 60%/25% among Republicans.  The new PPP polls shows that more Republicans now view Castle unfavorably than view him favorably.  His new favorable/unfavorable ratings are:  43%/47%.

"We are going to push as hard as we can to turn out conservatives and tea party supporters to vote in Tuesday's election, and we know that we must give it everything we've got to ensure victory for Christine O'Donnell," said Sal Russo, Chief Strategist for the Tea Party Express.

"We're taking nothing for granted," Russo said.

From watching the Mark Levin FB/Twitter match against several conservative bloggers (up for debate with some of them, apparently), this seems to be a hard choice—certainly one of the races to watch!

(Although getting ‘tennis neck’ from the back and forth stuff is starting to bug me...)

Perhaps now the RINO Establishment will finally listen to the people.

American voters are DONE with the gutter slime politics as usual personal attack tactics.

They want people with ideas and solutions who run on issues, NOT just a recycling of some long time member of the old boy's club running on "I not as bad as the Democrat".

Find the REAL Republican
Hmmm, let's see......

Side By Side Comparison of Christine O’Donnell & Mike Castle:
Jobs Voted for Nancy Pelosi’s cap and tax energy scheme which would kill 6,117 Delaware jobs and also voted for the job-killing minimum wage hike. Believes jobs are created when businesses are freed from endless taxes and bureaucratic red tape.
Security Voted with liberals in Congress to handicap our intelligence and military agencies. Believes terrorism is an act of war requiring the full force of our intelligence and military resources rather than granting terrorists precious Constitutional rights and outsourcing our foreign policy to the U.N.
Debt Voted to increase the national debt & consistently supports Washington’s reckless spending. Believes heaping trillions in debt on the backs of our grandchildren is immoral and that Congress is elected to make the hard choices to preserve our nation’s future prosperity.
Taxes Voted to keep the death tax, to increase taxes by $3,100 on every American family, and to remove the protection of the middle class from dramatic tax increases originally intended to hit <200 of the richest Americans. Will fight to remove the crushing tax burden faced by American families and businesses and dramatically simplify the tax code.
Life Voted to subject children to out-of-state abortions without consent of parents, voted to use U.S. funds to support Planned Parenthood at home and abroad, supports human cloning, and sponsored the bill to destroy, exploit and experiment on unborn children as scientific lab-rats. Strongly believes in protecting the sanctity of life at ALL stages.
Energy Voted to ban exploration for American energy, keeping gas prices high, to prohibit drilling in America’s land and waters, and to ban building new oil refineries. Supports a market-based approach to energy solutions that will keep competition high and energy prices low.
Values Voted to allow liberal activist judges to strip “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance, against the Constitutional protection of marriage, and against educational choice for parents with children in failing schools. Believes our country was founded on core values of faith, family and freedom and will fight to defend those values. Will always fight for maximum choice for parents about where to educate their kids, including private, parochial and charter schools or in the home.
Spending Voted to spend billions on failed stimulus packages & bailouts. Believes unrestrained government spending is eroding our freedom, destroying our economy and ceding our sovereignty to foreign debt- holders like China.
Accountability Voted to protect 103 outrageous pork projects that would lead to corruption and waste. Denounces corrupt pork-barrel politics, including earmarks, and will fight for increased transparency and performance information for every Federal program.
Healthcare Remained undecided about Pelosi’s government takeover of healthcare until 4 days before vote. Believes that the solution to the healthcare crisis is less government meddling in the doctor/patient relationship, more competition in the insurance market and more choice for families about their health plan.
Gun Control Received an “F” rating from the NRA, indicating a strong anti-2nd Amendment position. Christine’s strong support of 2nd Amendment rights has earned her an “A” rating from the NRA.

Vote - Sept. 14th - Tomorrow!

Jim Jeffords and Arlen Specter held “Safe” Republican seats. How those 2 work out for us in 2001 and 2009?

Castle looks confused, clueless and feeble. Looks like he’s sitting in his own excrement.

What a slimy hit piece from a former supporter talk show guy. He asks a question, then constantly interrupts her.

Who does he think he is, Geralda Rivera??

Levin has endorsed her. Here's his blistering attack on the Ruling Class's smears on her.
