<p>Former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/maryland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maryland</a> GOP Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/larry-hogan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Larry Hogan</a> is leading his Democrat rivals by double digits, according to the results of a new survey on this year&#8217;s race in the deep blue state for the seat held by retiring Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD).</p>
<p>The Washington Post-University of Maryland <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/03/20/senate-poll-hogan-trone-alsobrooks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll found</a> voters say they would support Hogan over Rep. David Trone (D-MD) — 49% to 37% — if the election were held today. Voters similarly backed Hogan over Prince George&#8217;s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, 50% to 36%.</p>
<p>Despite the positive results for Hogan, 55% of voters said they would like the Democrats to maintain control of the U.S. Senate while 35% said the same for Republicans. Another 11% had no opinion or skipped the question.</p>
<p>Which party controls the Senate after November&#8217;s election remains a very open question. Democrats currently lead the chamber with 48 seats and three independents who caucus with them. Republicans are the minority party with 49 seats.</p>
<p>The Cook Political Report put at least three races this year, including two where Democrat incumbents are seeking re-election, in the <a href="https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/senate-race-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Toss Up&#8221; category</a>. When Hogan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-republican-governor-announces-surprise-bid-for-senate-in-deep-blue-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entered</a> the Maryland race in February, the group <a href="https://twitter.com/CookPolitical/status/1756069592948957346" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shifted</a> the race from &#8220;Solid D&#8221; to &#8220;Likely D.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another takeaway from the new poll was just how much better Hogan performed, even among Democrats, when it came to favorability. The survey found 64% of registered voters gave Hogan a favorable rating; 61% of registered Democrats did the same.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am always humbled by the support of Marylanders, but make no mistake, we are the underdogs in this race,&#8221; Hogan said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/GovLarryHogan/status/1770516828432863575" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> posted to X. &#8220;The partisan politics in Washington will do anything they can to stop us.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added, &#8220;Washington is dangerously broken. We need your help to fix the broken politics and send a message to Washington that will be heard loud and clear across the country.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trone&#8217;s favorability among registered voters was 33% and 43% among Democrats. Alsobrooks got 26% among registered voters and 35% from Democrats. Voters seemed least familiar with Alsobrooks, as more than 50% had no opinion or otherwise skipped the question for her.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party&#8217;s primary in Maryland is scheduled to take place on May 14. Most registered Democrats told pollsters they would likely vote, and in a face-off, Trone bested Alsobrooks 34%-27%. Another 39% picked no opinion or skipped the question.</p>
<p>The survey was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/d9612568-9ff3-4dfc-a706-60d2bd10021f.pdf?itid=lk_inline_manual_2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conducted</a> by Braun Research of Princeton, New Jersey, using a random sample of 1,004 registered voters who were contacted by phone March 5-12.</p>
<p>A PDF on the poll said overall results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points and 4.5 percentage points among registered Democrats.</p>
