No surprise: Obama has solid lead in Delaware according to poll

[book_worm]

In Delaware—home state to the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee—Barack Obama leads John McCain by a dozen points. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey found Obama attracting 55% of the vote while McCain earns 43% (see crosstabs).

Not surprisingly, most Delaware voters—54%-- say Obama made the right decision when selecting Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate. Just 40% say that John McCain made the right choice when he selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be on the GOP ticket.

Nationally, the race between Obama and McCain remains close in both the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll and the Electoral College projections.
