New Rasmussen Poll Puts Coons Up By 11

Rasmussen released a new poll that shows an 11-point lead for Chris Coons. This is smaller than the 16-point lead shown by PPP.

Coons earns 53% of the vote to O’Donnell’s 42%, with leaners included. One percent (1%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

Seventy-one percent (71%) of Delaware Republicans now support O’Donnell after the party’s divisive primary, while Coons picks up 84% of the state’s Democratic voters. Voters not affiliated with either major party prefer O’Donnell by eight points.

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Coons voters say they are already certain how they will vote in November, while just 68% of O’Donnell’s supporters say the same.

Both candidates still have some room to grow, but Coons is over the magic 50% number. Coons has less Democrats to get percentage wise but the state has more Democrats. I have to say I’m pretty surprised by independents favoring O’Donnell, but this is Rasmussen, so take it with a grain of salt.
