Castle (R) 44%
Biden (D) 36%
“Mike Castle has served in statewide office now for almost 30 years and that higher level of familiarity with Delaware voters gives him an advantage over Beau Biden,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Biden’s numbers would surely improve as he became more well known to voters in a statewide campaign but I’m sure the Democrats would nonetheless be quite happy for Congressman Castle to stay where he is.”
44-36 strikes me as kinda lousy considering Castle is an institution in the state. Not that many expect him to run anyway but on this evidence even if he does I think Biden would still win quite easily. Against anyone but Castle it is over before it starts obviously.
They would have been better off polling a race that actually has a chance of happening, such as Castle vs. Carney for the DE-AL seat.
Thinking Beau Biden can win the Delaware Senate seat (because he’s a Democrat, a Biden, and it’s a blue state) is a level of arrogance we haven’t earned yet.
