Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester and State Sen. Sarah McBride both have early leads in polling in the state.
Delaware voters are leaning toward electing its first Black senator and the first openly transgender member of Congress, according to polling from Delaware-based legal reform group Citizens for Judicial Fairness.
Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester is leading by 10 points among registered Democratic voters. And State Sen. Sarah McBride so far has a plurality of support to replace Blunt Rochester in the U.S. House at-large seat.
Both races are safe blue seats that will likely be decided in the primary elections on Sept. 10, 2024.
Blunt Rochester would be the first Black person and first woman to represent Delaware in the Senate, if she wins next year — just as she was when she won her House seat in 2016. She is a former intern of retiring Sen. Tom Carper.
The Senate has just one Black woman serving currently, Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.), who has said she isn’t running for the seat formerly held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Among poll respondents, 43 percent said they would vote for Blunt Rochester if the primary was held today. Her next closest rival, sitting Gov. John Carney, had 33 percent support, though he is not a declared candidate in the race. Just 15 percent of voters were undecided.
In the contest to replace her, McBride, who has served in the state legislature since 2021, has 22 percent support. Though a majority of poll respondents were still undecided. McBride, if elected, would be the first openly transgender member of Congress.
But McBride is no stranger to the national political scene. President Joe Biden has called her to discuss LGBTQ policy issues and she’s known the Biden family for years, calling Beau Biden, the president’s late son, a mentor.
McBride’s closest challenger in the poll, Colleen Davis, garnered about 6 percent support. McBride has raised more than double her next highest earning opponent in the race, Eugene Young, who polled at 4 percent.
Blunt Rochester has about $2 million cash on hand, and no primary opponents to date.
The poll was conducted by Slingshot Strategies on Oct. 7-14, surveying 600 registered voters, of which about 45 percent were registered Democrats. It had a 3.9 percent margin of error.

I believe everything is fixed....The world is on fire, the economy sucks, crime is through the roof, inflation still going up, shortages, etc and Democrats are leading by 10 points?
Elections and polls are utterly co-opted or worse, Americans have embraced Marxism.
Demographics is destiny.
People who think all people and cultures are equal are f’ing idiots.
There is nothing wrong with the earth in Africa and Central America.
There is a problem with the people.
Maryland May add a second. Recent comments on Washington Post blog suggest most RATs loath her - she has no record of helping constituents as local county executive. But, based on her color, she may win …
The Old Guard of the RATS will be gone in 10 years.

The Weather Underground never went away, just changed their tactics, they became schoolteachers, to influence future generations, while they infiltrated and eventually took over the Democratic Party.
And here are their plans for us:

Hey genius that’s what the left says about Wyoming Montana et al, just shut up, unless you want to split Texas into 5 states as allowed by treaty.
Those are big states.
Delaware the biggest tax haven for corporations even Panama is shamed.
They have mega chump Biden to thank for it.
Well those Delaware jack-offs gave us Biden they might as well give us some more abysmal losers.
The real problem is the 17th amendment. It changed electing Senators to a popular vote by the population. Prior to the amendment Senstors were selected by the states House of Representatives.
No they are not the populations are the lowest in the country. The Senate represents big and small states equally. It was the great compromise at the constitutional convention
Well Massholes have turned all those states into Massachusetts for all intents and purposes.
