Poll Also Shows Delaware Dems’ Deep Concerns
About Hall-Long’s Ethics Lapses, as 74% Support a Special
Prosecutor and Just 29% Say She Should Stay in the Race
Today, Citizens for a New Delaware Way released the results of a
poll of 446 registered Democrats in the First State showing a
statistical dead heat in the race for Governor of Delaware between
New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer and Lieutenant Governor
Bethany Hall-Long.
When asked “how would you vote” if the election were held today,
both Meyer and Hall-Long received the support of 27% of Delaware
Democrats, showing a tight race with just two months to go until
the September 10th primary.
However, 76% of Democratic voters expressed concern about
Hall-Long’s ethics scandals, with 74% supporting the appointment of
a special prosecutor and just 29% saying she should continue her
campaign – indicating she has already hit her ceiling with voter
support.
Said Chris Coffey, CNDW Spokesperson, “With just two
months until the primary the race for governor of Delaware is a
dead heat between Bethany Hall-Long and Matt Meyer. But this poll
also shows that a staggering number of Democratic voters are deeply
concerned not only about the Lieutenant Governor’s history of
ethical lapses, but also her status as a symbol of the old Delaware
Way. As we begin spending the $1 million committed to this PAC,
we’re confident we can swing this election away from the
ethically-compromised Hall-Long and toward a brighter future.
The Poll was paid for by the Political Action Committee,
Citizens for a New Delaware Way, which plans to spend upwards of $1
million ahead of the coming Delaware Primary Election in September
and General Election in November.
CNDW is already committed to opposing the candidacy of
Hall-Long, aiming to fix the failures in promoting judicial
diversity and transparency of Governor John Carney's administration
– of which Hall-Long was a key supporter.
The PAC plans to steer the 2024 Gubernatorial Election toward
candidates that will commit to putting an end toward the broken
‘Delaware Way’ and toward a more equitable government.
The survey was conducted by Slingshot Strategies from July 5-9,
2024 among a sample of 446 registered voters in the Democratic
Party with a ±4.6% margin of error.
