Poll: Castle Write-In Bid Helps O'Donnell
The Hill reports:
Support for Democrat Chris Coons drops below 50 percent if Castle enters race as write-in.
A new poll out Monday shows that if Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) were to wage a write-in bid in Delaware's Senate race this November, it could make the contest more winnable for Tea Party-backed Christine O'Donnell (R).
The Rasmussen poll found New Castle County Executive Chris Coons (D) still leading O'Donnell by nine percentage points in a hypothetical three-way race, but the Democrat's support came in under 50 percent.
The numbers have Coons ahead with 49 percent to O'Donnell's 40 percent. Castle gets just 5 percent of the vote as a write-in option, but most of that support appears to come away from the Democrat rather than O'Donnell.
