Filed in Delaware by Delaware Dem on April 10, 2012 • 0 Comments

Sorry, I was so busy yesterday and tired from the Easter weekend that I stood up my colleague Nemski for dinner. I completely forgot. So it makes sense that I forgot to post the latest round of tracking poll results from the weekend. Last month, Mr. Kovach, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress, enjoyed a 49% favorable rating and a 37% unfavorability rating. This month, both of his ratings have increased. His favorability rating has increased to 50%, and his unfavorability rating is 40%.

Which makes it very difficult for people to transfer between lines and provides a real disincentive for people to use the buses.
