NEWARK, Del. — Democratic
incumbents in Delaware hold solid leads in the upcoming elections for
U.S. House representative and state attorney general.
A new University of Delaware Center for Political Communication poll
finds that 50% of registered voters say they’ll vote to re-elect
Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester to the U.S. House, while only 33% support
her Republican opponent, Lee Murphy.
In the state attorney general race, incumbent Democrat Kathy Jennings leads Republican Julianne Murray by 13 points, 53% to 40%.
“The poll results suggest the Democrats are on track for a good
election night,” said Professor Phil Jones, research director of the
Center for Political Communication. “Driven by support from women and
New Castle County voters, both incumbents look set to return to office.”
