Poll Shows Surge For O'Donnell In Delaware

In the past two weeks, Republican Christine O’Donnell has narrowed Democrat Chris Coons’ lead in Delaware’s U.S. Senate race from 19 points to 10 points.  The latest Monmouth University Poll finds Coons has the support of 51% of likely voters to 41% for O’Donnell.  Two weeks ago, this race stood at 57% to 38%.

O’Donnell has actually pulled into a 49% to 43% lead in the southern part of the state (i.e. Kent and Sussex counties).  Two weeks ago, this region of the state was divided at 47% for O’Donnell and 46% for Coons.  The Democrat continues to hold a sizable advantage in New Castle County, but the current 56% to 36% margin is down from the 63% to 33% edge he held earlier this month.

O’Donnell has also made gains among independent voters, now leading Coons 47% to 42% among this voting bloc.  Two weeks ago, she trailed in the independent vote by 51% to 41%.
