New poll shows gender gap and independents fueling large lead for Delaware Democrats

Democrats look set to sweep all of the major statewide races in Delaware this November, according to a new poll from the University of Delaware’s Center for Political Communication (CPC). Democratic candidates are being boosted by a large gender gap in vote preference and strong support from Independent voters.

Data are weighted to population benchmarks. People low in abortion misperceptions scored in the bottom 25th percentile and people high in abortion misperceptions scored in the top 25th percentile.
