MD-SEN: Alsobrooks leads Hogan 48% to 39%

The abortion question has also “played a front and center role” in the contest for Senate, where the poll shows Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) leading Republican former two-term Gov. Larry Hogan by a margin of 48% to 39%. Six percent would support another candidate and 5% were undecided.....

In the Senate race, 78% of those who have made a choice said they are set on that choice, but 20% could still change their mind.

Both Alsobrooks and Hogan are viewed favorably by voters.

Hogan, who maintained high approval numbers over his eight years in office, is viewed favorably by 53% of those polled, including 38% of Democrats, 71% of Republicans and 66% of independent voters. Forty-two percent held an unfavorable opinion of the former governor.

“Hogan has taken a little bit of a hit,” Kromer said. “His favorability rating is in the 50s now. In previous years we have seen it as high as 70-something percent approval rating. Still, at 55% his favorables are better than his unfavorables.

2. That is amazing, since Hogan was supposedly a popular governor. If it is accurate, and people in Maryland come out

to vote to insure Angela Alsobrooks wins, it indicates that at least the people in Maine understand that it isn't just the White House that is important, but control of Congress.

if putin's puppet gets re-installed in the WH. MD voters realize that. No amount of "nice guy" can over come that in a state with a lot of Federal employees and other government workers.
