In the past two weeks, Republican Christine O'Donnell has narrowed Democrat Chris Coons' lead in Delaware's US Senate Race from 19 points to 10 points. The latest Monmouth University Poll finds Coons has the support of 51% of likely voters to 41% for O'Donnell. Two weeks ago, the race stood at 57% to 38%.

O'Donnell has also made gains among independent voters, now leading Coons 47% to 42% among this voting bloc. Two weeks ago, she trailed in the independent vote by 51% to 41%.
"While Coons still has the advantage, it has to be uncomfortable knowing that O'Donnell was able to shave 9 points of his lead in just two weeks."
Huffman (R) went from 36% to 42% in a poll released yesterday, while Wyden(D) remained at 53%. Should I be hopeful???
BTW, I think it was a missed opportunity for the RNC not to campaign harder here for Huffman. The Governors race looks like it will go the the Repub and 2 or 3 House races will flip!!! I am VERY connected to the Oregon GOP and feel VERY good about what I just said.
I really think they blew it with not attacking the Senate race.
We shall see...
The most important trend identified in this poll is the reversal of leads with Independents - O'Donnell went from losing them by 9 points to winning them by 5 points. That's a clear indicator of the tide turning in her favor. Now it all comes down to who turns out to vote.
This one may be going down to the wire.
fight folks fight!
A very credible poll. Crosstabs are at the bottom.
Coons has a 23% lead among women, the sort of crazy behavior that encourages misogyny...
I know there are a lot of registered Democrats here in SW Pennsylvania who don't vote the party line. In our county, the D registration outnumbers the R registration by about a 60%/40% ratio. Yet McCain-Palin carried our county by 58% two years ago.
This could have been made a race. I agree they blew it.
AMEN DOUBLE!!!!!!
AMEN AGAIN!
This is a University poll! Imagine what she REALLY has!
Must be tough to stick with Castle about now.
And what about that "one night stand" attack? Was it Coons or was it Castle who engineered that piece of garbage. Whatever, it's so typical of that crowd it's difficult to know which puke to sue first!
Have you sent your advice directly to AFP?
Reminds us again on how much Mike Castles was leading Christine in the polls a few days prior to the primaries....
And by how much was Scott Brown trailing Martha Coakley in Massachusetts prior to the elections?
Dem/Rep/Ind registration goes something like 47/29/23 percent
I want Reid more than any other, but this one would be a dagger in the left’s heart, and more importantly a RINO destroyer. Even if she loses and is within 5, our movement’s next decision is to isolate and then dispose of the Rove/Beltway thinking that has so destroyed our party. Their damage in the 24 hours after the primary will be what determined the outcome.
The one I want the most (besides Angle in NV) is Alaska. Princess Lisa is the epitome of the arrogant, condescending, elitist and power-hungry politician. She need to be slapped hard about the head.
I predict that if she wins and if the Democrats retain control of the Senate, she will bolt the party and join them. When she went as a write in candidate, the Republicans stripped her of some posts but left her in charge of others. I don’t know if they were hedging their bets or not, but she plays dirty and for keeps so I doubt she can be kept in line.
I saw that poll last nite and agree it was a missed opportunity with Dudley ahead. No reason why Huffman shouldn’t have been given money and resources and could have had another Johnson/Feingold.
I can't find the regristration numbers off-hand, but the primary did yield a hint about likely intensity. Michael Barone said that 58,000 Republican voters and 35,000 Democrat voters went to the polls in the primary, an advantage of 23,000 for the GOP. Of course, the Dem primary was meaningless, but if the parties actually show up to vote in anything like equal numbers, O'Donnell has a shot. It all depends on who casts the votes.
Yup... Conservatives have to work for a living and don’t answer “anonymous” phone calls from pollsters. Gosh, if 60% of Conservatives and Independents vote she will win!
I really want this one...
Wonder why they used the word Shaved? Typical Establishmedia writer thinking he’s cute.
Pray for the Election
