SurveyUSA Poll: Coons Leads O’Donnell By 21 Points In DE-SEN

Christine O'Donnell (R), and Chris Coons (D), candidates for Senate in Delaware.

Yet another poll of the Delaware Senate race, this time from SurveyUSA, shows Democratic nominee Chris Coons winning in a blowout against Republican nominee Christine O’Donnell.

The numbers: Coons 54%, O’Donnell 33%. The survey of likely voters has a ±2.1% margin of error. There is no prior SurveyUSA poll of this race for direct comparison.

[TPM SLIDESHOW: Christine O’Donnell: Anti-Masturbation Crusader. Witchcraft Dabbler. Republican Senate Nominee.]

This poll was conducted this past Monday and Tuesday, and thus contains no data reflecting last night’s debate. That said, O’Donnell is already getting raked over the coals for her performance in that debate, such as her inability to name a recent Supreme Court decision with which she disagreed. So it remains to be seen whether that debate will help her at all in digging out of this deep hole.

The TPM Poll Average gives Coons a lead of 56.2%-36.6%.
