DL Tracking Poll Results — Tom Gordon (D)

24 Comments
Disgraced Former New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon is thinking about taking another run at his old office. It makes sense. Paul Clark is disliked and Bill Shahan is still an unknown at this point in the race. Gordon probably figures he has the name rec to take down Clark. He also probably figures some longing for when times were good in the county during his terms as Exec will redeem him in the eyes of the voters. And our poll results will give him some encouragement that such a redemption is very possible.

DL Tracking Poll Results — James Van Houten (R) (Round 2)

2 Comments
Last month, 53% of our readers disapproved of Republican Insurance Commissioner candidate james Van Houten, disapproval rating, and 24% were undecided. This month, not much has changed. Van Houten's unfavorable rating has dropped to 47%, and his favorability rating has increased one point, to 25% from 24%. Somehow, people became more undecided about him, which I suppose is a good thing for the Van Houten campaign. Better to be unknown than disliked.

Wilmington Mayor’s Debate — Social Justice Edition

3 Comments
Last Monday night, the candidates running for Wilmington Mayor met at the New Destiny Fellowship Church to take questions from members of the Black Clergy Consortium. All of the candidates showed for this debate, except for Robert Marshall, who, in spite of telling lots of people he's really in, is looking like he may not have the stomach for it. Selara Gatewood was also at this event, and this was probably the first time people got a chance to see and hear her.
