New Poll: O’Donnell Well Behind Coons

Via Politico:  Christine O’Donnell down 15 points in new poll.

A new Fox News poll, conducted Sept. 18 and released Tuesday, shows Democratic Senate nominee Chris Coons leading Republican Christine O’Donnell by 15 points, 54 to 39 percent. Sixty percent of those surveyed said O’Donnell is not qualified to be a U.S. senator, while 59 percent said Coons is qualified.

This makes me think back to the following that I noted last week:  “If O’Donnell loses and if Republicans end up gaining nine Senate seats in November and not the magic 10, a switch of just 1,850 votes in the DE GOP primary would have been the difference between being in the minority and being in the majority.”  Emphasis mine, source here.
