A new Susquehanna poll suggests that Republicans could very well pick up Joe Biden’s old Senate seat, if they’re able to recruit Rep. Mike Castle as their candidate.

In a match-up against Democrat Beau Biden, the state attorney general and son of Joe Biden, Castle has an overwhelming lead of 55%-34%. In the internals, Castle is ahead 82%-12% among Republicans and 55%-28% with independents, and Biden the Younger only gets a 52%-36% among Democrats.

From the pollster’s analysis: “The low number of undecided voters (at 8%), this far out from the 2010 elections shows that both Castle and Biden are well known to Delawareans and that even before this hypothetical matchup takes shape, Castle is standing on very solid ground should he chose to run for the Senate.”
