Making Teajhadis Cry — Delaware Edition
Chris Coons leads Christine O’Donnell in a new poll for the upcoming U.S. Senate race — 50-27. 50-27!
The Center for Political Communications acting director Paul Brewer says often times early polling simply reflects candidate name recognition, but he does not believe that’s the case here after the well-publicized race between Coons and O’Donnell in 2010.
“I know from other poll results that Coons and O’Donnell were equally familiar to the public,” said Brewer. “Coons does not have a substantial name recognition lead over O’Donnell. It’s more reflecting that views of him are more favorable than they are of O’Donnell.”
Brewer adds the 50-27 spread in this poll is similar to the result in the 2010 race, which Coons won by 57-40 margin.
Looks like O’Donnell is going to have to cast quite the spell to make up this ground. AND it looks to me like Coons has plenty of room here to sign on to Mark Begich’s Fix Social Security Bill. Which I still don’t know why he hasn’t.
But the animosity of the local GOP leadership to Ms. O’Donnell looks more than just a little justified here — except who do they credibly run in her place?
That poll is obviously skewed! Just ask the intellectual brain trust of Delaware Conservatives – Don Ayotte.
If you haven’t ventured over to Delaware Politics in a while, it’s worth a look – just for laughs.
The poll must be skewed because some of the hundred million people who joined the truckers protest were out of the state.
What if you called a trucker protest on the DC beltway and only a couple show up — did it happen?
Seriously, I can’t imagine that they thought they’d get anywhere with this. Truckers get paid to drive goods and if they aren’t driving to make money, they are home with their families.
