State Republicans: Poll Shows Brady Ahead
WILMINGTON -- The Delaware Republican Party today released a poll of
likely Delaware voters showing an overwhelming lead for Attorney
General Jane Brady in her bid for re-election.
The
poll, performed by McLaughlin & Associates, one of the leading
polling firms in the country, showed strong support for Attorney
General Jane Brady.
If the
election for Attorney General were held today and the candidates
were Jane Brady (Republican), Carl Schnee (Democrat), and Vivian
Houghton (Green Party), for who would you vote?
Jane Brady 49%
Carl Schnee 23%
Vivian Houghton 7%
Undecided 21%
"These
numbers confirm what we have known all along, that Jane Brady has
consistently demonstrated her abilities as Attorney General and the
voters recognize that she is the best person for the job," said Eric
Sutton, Executive Director of the Delaware Republican Party.
Sutton
also pointed out that the polling numbers indicate the voters are
rejecting Carl Schnee and his desperate attack ads distorting facts
about Jane Brady and ads hiding his criminal defense background.
"Voters are not letting Carl Schnee get away with the fact that he
was a failure as U.S. Attorney and he has spent most of his career
defending violent criminals and insurance companies."
Nationally recognized pollster, John McLaughlin who conducted the
poll agreed, "Jane Brady is on track for a sizable victory on
November 5th. It is clear the voters of Delaware believe Jane Brady
is doing a great job as Attorney General."
"The
only question left in this race is who will come in second place -
Houghton or Schnee?" commented Sutton. The poll shows Carl Schnee
and Vivian Houghton in a closer race for second.
The
survey was conducted from October 14-15 among 500 likely Delaware
voters. It has a margin of error of +/- 4.4%.
