Poll Watch: GOP Congressman Mike Castle Beating Democrat Attorney General Beau Biden in 2010 Delaware U.S. Senate Race

Even though Democrats Barack Obama and Jack Markell easily won in Delaware last November, there still is a Republican to be reckoned with.

According to a poll released Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Mike Castle has more support today than Attorney General Beau Biden, should the two run in 2010 for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Beau’s father, Joe, just before he was sworn in as vice president.

The survey, conducted by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling, of 782 Delawareans found 44 percent support Castle while 36 percent favor the younger Biden. The poll found 20 percent undecided.

Beau Biden was elected in 2006 as attorney general and is serving in the Delaware National Guard in Iraq on a one-year deployment. He has not announced any run for another office.

Castle, now in his ninth term, said he’s not declaring any run for office — Senate or re-election — just yet.

Maybe Delaware is suffering from too much Biden? Or, just do not want a family Senate dynasty like the Dodds in Connecticut

This is obviously surprising news and should be a shocker to the Biden Delaware campaign cabal and the Vice President.
