Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results
Well, this week has gotten away from me. I had planned on start the Tracking Poll project on Monday. Here it is Wednesday. But real life work pays the bills and it selfishly demands my time. So, the poll on Governor Markell’s approval has been open since last Thursday until last night at 10 pm. 152 people voted in it, so click through to see the results, and be sure to vote in our new poll on the middle column on the right on the job performance of Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart.
Tuesday Open Thread [2.14.12]
Polling-polooza today. Newt Gingrich has promised to stay in the race for the duration, and he is even predicting that he will experience a third surge. Hey, its possible.
Christine O’Donnell Wants Some Attention
I missed this over the weekend, as I was busy with family events and real world work sidetracked me yesterday. But the wonderful gathering of hatred, ignorance and arrogance known as CPAC was held in Washington this past weekend, and of course, Delaware’s own original wingnut theocrat Christine O’Donnell was in attendance. You remember that she sold herself out and endorsed Romney, don’t you?
Well now she expects some payback, Mitt, for all she has given you. She took it upon herself to inform the New York magazine that she would consider serving in a Mitt Romney administration.
Monday Open Thread [2.13.12]
Mitt Romney under-whelmingly won the Maine Caucuses on Saturday, but that news was overshadowed by Whitney Houston’s death. Although now it seems that Ron Paul could pull a Rick Santorum and win Maine after all. Here are the polls that came out during the weekend. Santorum has stormed into the lead in one recent national poll.
Friday Open Thread [2.10.12]
Gingrich’s sugar daddy, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, says he is done contributing to the Super PAC backing Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign. So that is the end of Gingrich.
The Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll
You may have noticed in the center column of the site, we have a poll question regarding the job performance of Governor Markell. Currently, the Governor has a 69% approval rating (27% approve, 42% strongly approve), and a 22% disapproval rating (17% disapprove, 5% strongly). And 9% of you either don’t care, don’t know or are “meh” when it comes to the Governor.
Now, an internet poll is in no way accurate (although, real polls of the Governor’s job performance have similar findings, with approval in the 60’s). We are not dealing with a random sample here. And the sample size is way too small (64 people at last count). Still, I thought it would be fun to have a new tracking poll feature each day that polls the politically motivated and passionate in Delaware. Each day of the week we will poll on a different office holder or candidate.
Let’s Do This Again
Yesterday we showed the new Delaware Democratic Party logo, but there was just a small problem with it. The vendor misspelled “Democratic” by adding a third “c.” And to be fair to the staff at the Del Dems, I missed it when I first looked at it, because my attention was drawn to the Hen. Click inside to see the revised new logo, and the secondary logo that we have not seen yet, that I love even better, and see how much better these logos are than the logos of the past.
