Delaware's most unpopular politician, two months running. 64% strongly disapproved of KWS last month, and 64% strongly disapproved this month. Now that is consistent rejection. More shocking: 18% just regularly disapproved of her last month, and 18% disapprove of her this month.

Karen, that is a sign from God. Get out of this race now.
