New Poll: 77% of Delaware Voters Support Term Limits on Congress
Dover, DE – A new poll of registered voters in Delaware reveals a massive groundswell of support for term limits on members of Congress. The poll, conducted by RMG Research between January 6-12, 2026, comes as the Delaware State Legislature begins its 2026 regular session.
The data shows that 77% of Delaware voters approve of placing term limits on Congress. This sentiment transcends party lines, including 80% of Republicans, 74% of Democrats, and 80% of Independents.
“These results send a clear and unmistakable message to Delaware,” says USTL President, Philip Blumel. “Delaware voters are tired of career politicians in Washington and are looking to their state legislators to take the lead on this critical reform.”
Key findings from the executive summary include:
Broad Consensus: 76% of voters favor Ohio calling for an amendment proposing convention specifically to enact congressional term limits.
Legislative Accountability: 68% of voters state they would be more likely to vote for a candidate for the state legislature who supports implementing these limits.
Demographic Strength: Support is particularly robust among older voters, with 70% of those aged 55-64 and 87% of those 65 and older in favor.
USTL state chair Dr. Mike Katz says, “The implementation of congressional term limits is a vital step toward ensuring voters are presented with fresh perspectives and genuine choices at the ballot box. The intent of our government was to foster a system of rotating public service rather than the establishment of a permanent class of professional politicians.”
