Christine O’Donnell’s victory over Congressman Mike Castle in the Republican U.S. Senate primary has changed how many view the race for the seat previously held by Vice-President Joe Biden. The Rothenberg Political Report and the Washington Post are among those that have changed their projection of the general election race from “Lean Republican” to “Lean Democrat.” Public Policy Polling says its survey of Delaware voters over the weekend shows Coons with a 50-34 lead over O’Donnell and that 54% of Castle supporters are likely to shift their vote to Coons in November.
