A very special tipster (Jason330) passed along a tip to a new Rasumussen poll on the Castle-Biden match-up. Rasmussen also polled the Biden-O’Donnell race. Here are some results:
The first Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 survey in the state finds that longtime Republican Congressman Mike Castle beats state Attorney General Beau Biden by five points – 47% to 42% – in a hypothetical match-up for the seat Biden’s father held for 36 years. Five percent (5%) like some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
Against the only declared GOP candidate for the race, Christine O’Donnell, Biden wins by nine points – 49% to 40%. Three percent (3%) prefer another candidate, and eight percent are not sure (8%) how they’ll vote.
Castle carries the male vote by 25 points, while Biden fares better among women by 13 points. While both candidates get over 70% support from those in their respective parties, Castle wins voters not affiliated with either party by a two-to-one margin.
Those numbers don’t look that great for Castle, actually, especially since Rasmussen has a Republican lean. Jason thinks this means that Castle will bow out, and I have to concur.
