PPP Delaware Poll: O’Donnell Ahead By Three

A virtual tie in a race that was once believe was a shoe in for longtime Congressman and Governor Mike Castle as Tea Party pick and Palin endorsed Christine O’Donnell jumps ahead by three points, leading 47 to 44 percent.

PPP:

If Castle is indeed defeated Tuesday night it will be yet another sign that conservatives have a strangle hold on the Republican Party and moderates may or may not be welcome anymore. Castle has an overwhelming 69-21 lead with moderate voters but they only make up 33% of the likely primary electorate. O’Donnell has a 62-31 lead with conservatives that’s more than enough to propel her to the overall lead.

Should O’Donnell win in the primary against Castle on Tuesday, she will face Democrat Chris Coons in November for Joe Biden's former seat.
