There is time for Carney to redeem himself, but he’d have to do something that seems like an anathema to him – be a Democrat.
Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That, when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wonder’d at,
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
We don’t get very many statewide polls in Delaware.
So it’s instructive to see the Morning Consult polling on the nation’s governors.
Delaware Governor John Carney’s net approval rating drops 19 points, although half of Delaware’s registered voters still support him. Undoubtedly, this reflects some of the painful budget decisions. I don’t recall former Governor Jack Markell dipping like this, but you could argue Governor Markell and state legislators kicked the can down the road, leaving the painful decisions for now. And again, we see few statewide polls in Delaware.
