In Delaware’s lower-ticket races, there is a dead heat in the competitions for state treasurer.
The telephone poll of 801 randomly selected Delaware voters was conducted from Sept. 27 to Oct. 3 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 points.
In the race for state treasurer, Democrat Chip Flowers, who upset sitting treasurer Velda Jones-Potter in the primary election, was even with his Republican challenger, State Sen. Colin Bonini, with each receiving support from 38 percent of those polled.
The poll showed Flowers had stronger support upstate and among Democrats while Bonini led downstate and among Republicans. The poll showed 21 percent, mainly voters who identified themselves as independent, are undecided.
Poll director Peter Woolley, a professor of political science at Fairleigh Dickinson, said he does not expect many of those undecided voters to break for either Flowers or Bonini by election day. Instead, he said “these unsure voters will resolve their dilemma by not casting a vote in this particular race.”
