O'Donnell Down 11 in First Poll

As expected Christine O'Donnell is trailing the "bearded Marxist" in Delaware in the first Rasmussen Poll:

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 poll also shows that independents prefer O'Donnell by eight points.  Independents will play a big role in the November elections nationwide.

Let's not forget that two weeks before the Massachusetts special election Scott Brown was down 9 points. He's now SENATOR Scott Brown.  Delaware is still very winnable.
