DELAWARE: Yet another poll shows Chris Coons with a commanding lead over Christine O'Donnell… Coons leads 49%-30% in a new University of Delaware Center for Political Communication poll. With leaners, Coons' lead expands to 61%-37%.

In the Delaware House race, John Carney leads 48%-31% over Glen Urquhart.

Chris Coons is up with a mock Christine O'Donnell Web site that says, "Tell Christine O'Donnell 'You are not me.'"

NEW YORK: "Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Andrew Cuomo is up 56 percent to 32 percent over GOP rival Carl Paladino - but the most astonishing number in the new Siena College survey is that 59 percent of voters have an unfavorable view of him," Politico reports. "And some 61 percent agree that he's 'a loose cannon, who doesn't have the temperament to be governor.'"

I don't actually know this poll. And don't particularly take it seriously when I know more established and proven companies poll numbers will be out soon. But people demanded Delaware polls, so I found this.

Other races are also referenced at the link. Such as NY posted above.

Just for the fun of it, let’s just go ahead and have the elections anyway, shall we?

$2.6 million dollars in funds. Hopefully, we’ll get better than “I’m you”.

So, I guess we can assume that this poll was conducted among University of Delaware Faculty, eh?

University of Delaware Center for Political Communication poll.

The name of this institution reeks of liberalism.

[Lazamataz]

Wow! You mean MSNBC got a poll from some hitherto unheard-of outfit and it shows nothing but doom for Republicans and Tea Partiers, and nothing but joy for Democrats????!?!

Go figure!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Well, there ya go. A Delaware poll.

You mean to tell me that MsNBC and the Coons campaign can't bundle enough money to pay for a real polling outfit to conduct a poll? They have to pay some college student to go out and ask a bunch of hobos who they are backing?

FWIW, the Fairleigh Dickinson poll on this race is scheduled for an 11 a.m. EDT release.

Would have been nice if Rove hadn’t shouted her down.

Whatever happens at least that ugly RINO is out of there.

[Huck]

Both major parties have an interest in discrediting the Tea Party. There will be some high-profile losers from the Tea Party ranks that will be used by both sides to do this.

I'm hoping that the Tea Party people will be honest about their mistakes, rather than simply digging in and resisting any criticism. Call it rookie mistakes.

After this election, we have two years til the next one. That's plenty of time to VET prospective candidates. We need to find candidates that share our views AND demonstrate professionalism, character, and the ability to persuade voters. If such people don't exist, the game is over anyway.

The I’m you ad wasn’t good. She should stick to the issues and contrast her ideas with Coons record.

[nbenyo]

But it’s better to run an unelectable conservative than have Democrats lose the Senate.

[Huck]

I’m guessing the leftover money will go into the Christine O’Donnell Avoids Getting a Real Job fund.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

From your enthusiasm, can I accuse you of being a Democrat yet?...

I mean seriesly. You actually went out and found a poll from a completely unknown outfit, formed less than one year ago.

To which no link or internals are even available.

And then get all excited about the Republican in the race, getting “crushed”?

Why does this enthuse you?

This poster sees really only, one explanation:

You actually seem to want the Democrat to win.

[wilco200]

Then I guess there’s no reason to spend 23 hours a day attacking O’Donnel and Paladino on MSNBC

[Huck]

Rove didn’t shout her down. He’s a paid pundit now, not a strategist. He’s paid to give his professional opinion, which so far seems to have been spot-on.

[olezip]

I guess that Coons and Cuomo can take a few weeks vacation and put their campaign funds in the bank or pay for a holiday somewhere. They should save their energy for their new jobs instead of campaigning, with poll results like that! Relax, boys, your opponents cannot win according to these university activists.

[italianquaker]

Yes, I have tired of the spectors, castles,collins etc. All they do is give the jackass in the WH political cover

[Huck]

We’ve already talked about the ad, but one more thing. The “I’m You” isn’t just bad—it’s actually grating, presumptuous, and offensive. And that chirpy little voice. Man, the more I think about it, it may have been the worst campaign ad I’ve ever seen.
