Public Policy Polling has released their new general election poll following Christine O’Donnell’s suprise victory last night. Chris Coons holds a solid double digit lead over Christine, 50% to 34%. If Castle had won last night, he would be leading Coons right now, 45% to 35%, a result that showed Castle damaged from the nasty primary fight but still leading.
The worst news of the poll for O’Donnell’s cult followers is her favorability rating. It is 29%. Her unfavorability rating is a devastating and unelectable 50%!
Moderate Republicans will be voting for Coons by a margin of 54 to 31. Indeed, Coons takes a Castle like 25% of the total Republican vote. The shoe is on the other foot. O’Donnell is now their Karen Hartley Nagle.
And it gets worse:
Only 31% of voters in the state think O’Donnell’s fit to hold public office while 49% think that she is not. Even with Republicans in the state less than half at 48% believe that she is. […] Only 33% of independents and 16% of Democrats believe O’Donnell’s fit.
You know what I like about that? 3% of Christine’s voters in this poll think she is unqualifed but are voting for her anyway.
