Monday Open Thread [4.2.12]
Tomorrow there are primaries in D.C., Wisconsin and Maryland. And then after that, the next primaries are on April 24, which serves as a sort of “Greater Northeast” primary. The states holding elections that day are our own first state, Delaware, as well as Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York.
Romney is going to win Maryland and D.C., and in a few weeks he will win New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. For Santorum to continue any semblance of a campaign, and for him to have any reason at all to continue, he should really win Wisconsin, and he absolutely has to win Pennsylvania. If he does not win his home state, then he should be dragged from the race kicking and screaming.
So, we are down to Frothy’s Last Stand. It was fun while it lasted.
DL Tracking Poll Results — Auditor Tom Wagner (Round 2)
Last month, Tom Wagner scored a 55% approval rating, making him by far the most popular Delaware Republican alive today. His disapproval was 43%. Our new poll finds his approval to have fallen 9 points to 46%, while his disapproval rating has risen by nearly the same margin of 8 points, or to 51%. I think that makes him still the most popular Republican in Delaware.
DL Tracking Poll Results — Treasurer Chip Flowers (D) (Round 2)
Last month Chip Flowers had a 47% approval rating and a 39% disapprove rating. 14% were undecided or are unsure. This month, he improves his standing to 54% approval, and a 37% disapproval rating.
Thursday Open Thread [3.29.12]
I am going to miss the Republican primary polls when this clown show ends. First Read: “With Mitt Romney holding a sizable delegate lead and with more prominent Republicans (George H.W. Bush and Marco Rubio) formally endorsing the former Massachusetts governor, Tuesday’s GOP primary in Wisconsin is shaping up to be Rick Santorum’s last chance — in math and perception. If Romney wins Wisconsin, Santorum can’t stop him from getting to the magic number of 1,114 delegates, according to our math.”
Wednesday Open Thread [3.28.12]
69 percent want out of Afghanistan now.
The new low represents the crossing of a certain psychological and cultural threshold. It means the Afghanistan war is now at least as unpopular as the Iraq war was at the height of public ire. In fact, by some measures, the war to beat the Taliban — the guys who gave safe harbor to the 9/11 terrorists — is now more unpopular than the one to get rid of Saddam and his alleged stockpiles of WMDs.
Mr. President, speed up that timetable.
Tuesday Open Thread [3.27.12]
We are in a polling drop off. The Republican Primary is ongoing, but with Romney the presumptive nominee, not many polling outfits are spending the money on the remaining primaries. The big remaining primary contests, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, will get polled as the dates of those primaries gets closer.
