GOP Poll Shows Delahunt In Trouble
February 12, 2010
| Rep. Bill Delahunt (D-MA) is the latest Dem to face a serious challenge, according to a new poll conducted for ex-Treas. Joe Malone (R).
The McLaughlin & Associates poll surveyed 300 likely voters Jan. 30-31 for a margin of error of +/- 5.7%. Delahunt and Malone were tested. General Election Matchup Malone 37 Delahunt 34 Voters see Delahunt in a positive light, with a 44%-33% fav/unfav rating, but that — and other important numbers — are below the 50% mark seen as crucial to incumbents seeking re-election. Still, Malone’s team did not release a head-to-head matchup that includes leaners, suggesting Delahunt is in better shape than the initial matchup suggests. Delahunt is seen as GOPers’ top target in MA, where all 10 members of Congress are Dems. Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) won 61% of the vote in Delahunt’s district, which stretches from the South Boston suburbs out to the Cape. |
