God is a Democrat after all.
PPP says the DE-Sen race is too close to call but shows a lead for O'Donnell:
It looks like there’s a real possibility of a major upset in the Delaware Senate primary on Tuesday night, with insurgent conservative Christine O’Donnell leading longtime Congressman and Governor Mike Castle 47-44. That 3 point lead is well within the poll’s margin of error.
If Castle is indeed defeated Tuesday night it will be yet another sign that conservatives have a strangle hold on the Republican Party and moderates may or may not be welcome anymore. Castle has an overwhelming 69-21 lead with moderate voters but they only make up 33% of the likely primary electorate. O’Donnell has a 62-31 lead with conservatives that’s more than enough to propel her to the overall lead.
It’s clear that Castle’s popularity has taken a sharp turn in the wrong direction over the last month. An August PPP poll found his favorability with Delaware Republicans at a 60/25 spread. Now his favorables within the party are negative at 43/47. That’s largely a product of 55% of voters in his party saying they think he’s too liberal compared to 37% who think he’s about right.
Say hello to Senator Coons.
O'Donnell's fellow teabagger, wealthy real estate developer Glenn Urquhart, also leads his primary race to succeed Mike Castle as Delaware's sole representative in the House. He leads GOP Establishment choice, heiress Michele Rollins, 50% to 38%.
Say hello to Congressman Carney.
