DL Approval Ratings: Coons Rides High

A senior elected official said to me at an event over the weekend that these Delaware Liberal polls are hurting the state of Delaware. He says staffers obsess over them, and that is distracting to the pressing state business that these staffers or employees must take of. This person said, somewhere a Social Security check is not being cut because there is a poll about John Carney.

So I apologize to the people of Delaware, but the polls must go on. To be honest, I was surprised how positive this poll was for Senator Coons, given his recent vacillation over the Iran Deal. To be clear, Senator, to side with the Republicans over the Iran Deal makes you one. You either are in the Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran caucus, or you are not. And voting for the Corker Bill means you want war, not a deal that will prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Regardless, 59% approve of Senator Coons’ job performance, 23% strongly. 38% disapprove.

Meanwhile, the Senator who has been pretty good so far on the Iran Deal, Senator Carper, will get negative marks for everything else he has done.

Here is our schedule of upcoming polls:

Monday — Senator Tom Carper (D)
Tuesday — Auditor Tom Wagner (R)
Wednesday — Treasurer Ken Simpler (R)
Thursday — Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart (D)
Friday — New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon (D)

Take the poll on the right side of the front page underneath the Vote Tracker sign today to register your opinion of Senator Carper. Of course, this is a voluntary internet poll, thus it is not random or scientific and the margin of error would have to be huge. So this is only for fun and not for any real value.
