Democrat Chris Coons holds a double-digit lead over Republican hopeful Christine O’Donnell in the first Rasmussen Reports post-primary survey of the U.S. Senate race in Delaware. 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. The Delaware race is now viewed as Solid Democrat in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings. This marks a remarkable turnaround in a race that at the beginning of the month was rated Solid Republican and was on track to be a GOP pickup. At that time, Congressman Mike Castle led Coons as he had been leading all year. O’Donnell trailed Coons at that time 47% to 36%. But O’Donnell, a conservative activist picking up endorsements from Sarah Palin and South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint and riding a Tea Party wave of opposition, upset the more moderate Castle in Tuesday’s state Republican Primary. Her victory highlights the voter anger sweeping the nation this year. That anger is described in a new book by Scott Rasmussen and Doug Schoen, Mad as Hell: How the Tea Party Movement is Fundamentally Remaking Our Two Party System. An excerpt from the book, One Nation Under Revolt was published yesterday in the wake of O’Donnell’s victory. If leaners are not included, Coons, the elected executive of the state’s largest county, posts a 51% to 40% lead over O’Donnell. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning towards a particular candidate. From this point forward, Rasmussen Reports considers results with leaners the primary indicator of the race. Coons led O’Donnell 46% to 36% in a survey in August, but a month earlier the two were in a virtual tie. 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. (Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook. The survey of 500 Likely Voters in Delaware was conducted on September 15, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology. The seat at stake was formerly held by Vice President Joe Biden who resigned following the November 2008 elections. His chief of staff, Ted Kaufman, was named to the seat by the state’s Democratic governor but has opted not to seek a full term. Coons jumped into the race after Biden’s son, state Attorney General Beau Biden, chose not to run against Castle, a popular longtime congressman. Coons is viewed favorably by 58% of Delaware voters and unfavorably by 34%. This includes 22% with a Very Favorable view of him and 14% with a Very Unfavorable one. Forty-two percent (42%) have a favorable opinion of O’Donnell, including 20% Very Favorable. Fifty-four percent (54%) regard her unfavorably, with 38% Very Unfavorable. Both candidates are well-known in the state. Many analysts say O’Donnell faces a tough challenge in a state whose electorate is predominantly moderate. While a majority of Delaware voters, for example, favor repeal of the national health care bill and passage of an immigration law like Arizona’s in their own state, that support is lower than is found nationally. Those who Strongly Favor repeal of the health care bill support O’Donnell. Coons earns even stronger support from those who are Strongly Opposed to repeal. Delaware voters, unlike voters nationwide, trust Democrats slightly more than Republicans when it comes to both the economy and health care. Fifty-two percent (52%) favor President Obama’s proposed new $50 billion federal jobs program aimed at fixing up transportation infrastructure, compared to 40% of voters nationally. Still, 62% say cutting taxes is a better way to create jobs than increasing government spending. Only 18% say increased spending is a better job-creator. Fifty-four percent (54%) of voters in the state approve of the job President Obama is doing, while 43% disapprove. This is higher job approval than the president earns nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. Sixty-two percent (62%) approve of Democratic Governor Jack Markell’s job performance, while 35% disapprove. See toplines for other data from this survey. Platinum Members get to take a deeper look. Rasmussen Reports has recently surveyed Senate races in Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

She probably won't win, but at least Castle won't get in. Either way I'm happy.
Clinton and Cuomo are the true bandits who lit the fuse to this economic crisis we're now in. All in the name of getting more minorities in houses: http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=12554
The way things are going, I wouldn't bet on that.
zat you, Tokyo Rove? You may be fooling some.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
Jesus neb, first you tout newt, then you channel rove. Tell me again you ain't a shill.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
What makes you believe that she's going to win? Her stance on so called gay rights in a state with a large gay population?
This isn't a 'normal' election cycle, and she did well in the first debate last night according to all reports I've seen this morning.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
You want to point to the specific post where I posted I thought she would win? Do you have ANY idea about the meaning of my post #3 to neb? Any at all?
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
#4 is what made me believe that...
Well it's nice that you believe I said that. But your "belief" is not what what I asked you for. Again, point out the specific post where I posted I thought she would win, or just admit you were wrong. And again I'll ask, do you have ANY idea about the meaning of my post #3 to neb? Any at all? Take a stab at it.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
You don't understand the reason why I gave you that number? That's the post in which you attack someone for agreeing with someone who said that she could not win. Why attack unless you disagree? If you disagree then you believe that she is going to win, So a) learn to be more precise with your language and then b) go fuck yourself.
Why attack unless you disagree? If you disagree then you believe that she is going to win, I attacked no one. Your logic sucks. Let me say it again, YOUR LOGIC SUCKS. I noted that he (supposedly a conservative), like Rove (supposedly a conservative), used the same talking point (namely: she can't win), without posting my personal position on whether she would win or lose. Nothing more, nothing less. Hence the "Channeling Rove" comment. It was all about pubbies attacking pubbies. I was EXTREMELY precise with my language. The fact that you are too fucking stupid to understand it, and read something into it that wasn't there, is not my problem, it's yours. So, you GFY. No wonder people consider you an idiot. Now, show me the post where I specifically said I think she's going to win. You can't, because it doesn't exist. You're the fucking idiot who attributes positions to people that they don't hold.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
Correct...you attacked Nebuchadnezzar when you called him "Tokyo Rove" and told him that he may be "fooling some". "Some"...but not you, right? Your logic sucks. Let me say it again, YOUR LOGIC SUCKS. Chuckles. WHY did you call Nebby "Tokyo Rove"? I was EXTREMELY precise with my language. I know, dickweed, I was being ironic. YOU accused Nebby of spreading lies. The lie being that this Moonbat can't win. If you believe that statement to be a lie then you believe the opposite. That she CAN win. There...I've run rings around you....LOGICALLY. So...not only have we revealed that my logic does NOT suck. I've also revealed you to be a goddam liar. [snicker] Now, show me the post where I specifically said I think she's going to win. You can't, because it doesn't exist. Chuckles...water is falling from the sky... But I never said that it's raining... [snicker]
Nice Alinsky move. Neb never said she can't win. Think anyone else noticed what you're doing?
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
Blah blah blah Alinsky Blah blah blah Blah blah blah Blah blah blah Love,
Well, another Alinsky moment. You loose the debate, so you ridicule your opponent, then cowardly tuck your tail between your legs and run away (after heroically slaying a straw man of your own making). You're a POS war. And I enjoy exposing that fact.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
Tell me again you ain't a shill. You're chickenshit not to answer this neb, even if you already have under an alias. That WOULD explain war's diversionary attack.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
What?!? And ruin the fine job that you do yourself? Never.
You can't count her out just yet. Remember, she "dabbled" in witchcraft, so maybe she'll cast a spell on election day. Can Palin pick em' or can she pick em'?
Her record is astonishingly good.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Bell, book, and candle meet dead fish.
Good job...he's going to be googling all day now...
Just what we don't need. More Coons running the show.
I wonder if the house she sold to avoid foreclosure was in a coven-controlled community.
Disingenuous on your part.
But Post #22 is just dandy.
Didn't even notice that one. I don't agree with that. I guess I am more interested in you right now. So your posts stick out more. That is not meant in a bad way.
I have no idea what this means.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
You posting blanks or is Goldi, Jr at it again?
AKA Goldi is at it again. I told him that his bias was showing.
Something is fer shore...
Lunchtime...later...
Dude...you can set your clock by you...
The Coons of the world generally changed their name from Cohen.
That WOULD explain war's diversionary attack. STFU War.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jqQYedt-EU I have nothing to add.
Are you drunk, stupid or both?
Foreign national and can't quite get the hang of the lingo. Uses terms like 'American Civil War'. LOLOLOL
Hmmm. He's got a big mouth, that's for sure.
Wow, you don't respond on this thread the whole time war is running interference for you and defending your position until I post this: Then you show up accusing me of being war. (Why would I be war? war's defending your position.) Then war show up 17 minutes later (without being pinged to your post) to slam you. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
STFU War.
