According to a poll by Public Policy Polling, Alsobrooks leads Hogan with 48%\u2062 to 40% in a direct matchup. This \u2063polling data was gathered from 635 Maryland voters on June 19 and 20, with a 3.9%\u200c margin of error. Interestingly, Hogan, who is trying to distance himself from \u200dformer President Donald Trump \u2063to attract Democratic\u2063 votes, \u2064still retains a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-leading-ron-desantis-in-home-state-despite-slight-drop-poll\/\" title=\"Poll shows Trump still ahead of DeSantis in home state despite small decline.\">50% favorability rating<\/a> compared to \u2062Alsobrooks&#8217; 43%. Despite his efforts and\u2064 Democratic support, Hogan lacks sufficient backing, especially from some Republicans, to lead the race. This shift indicates changing dynamics, as Hogan had previously led Alsobrooks by 18 \u200cpoints in an April poll, but is now 8 \u2062points behind.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/maryland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Maryland<\/a> Senate candidate and former Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/larry-hogan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Larry Hogan<\/a> is trailing Prince George\u2019s County Executive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3056060\/hogan-direct-shot-alsobrooks-new-ad-violent-crime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Angela Alsobrooks<\/a> despite drawing a higher approval rating, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicpolicypolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/MarylandResults.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>new<\/a> poll.<\/p>\n<p>The poll was conducted by Public Policy Polling, which has a Democratic lean, surveying 635 Maryland voters on June 19 and 20 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>Alsobrooks leads Hogan 48% to 40% in a head-to-head matchup, while Hogan has a 50% favorability rating to his opponent\u2019s 43%.

While it has worked to some extent \u2014 he received 17% Democratic support in a head-to-head matchup with Alsobrooks \u2014 he still hasn\u2019t garnered the support needed to win.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the missing support appears to lie with Republicans, 17% of whom are unsure whether they will choose Hogan or Alsobrooks, likely because of Hogan\u2019s disdain for Trump when Maryland Republicans approve of Trump at a 75% margin, with 17% disapproving and 8% unsure.<\/p>\n<p>The former president recently endorsed Hogan, but Hogan said he has \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/the-reidout\/reidout-blog\/larry-hogan-trump-endorsement-senate-maryland-rcna158296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>no interest in it.<\/a>\u201c<\/p>\n<p>There were questions about whether Hogan could court pro-Trump Republicans after primary challenger and staunch Trump supporter Robin Ficker racked up 27.8% of the vote in the GOP primary. Despite having considerable name recognition in the state, Hogan only garnered about 64% of the Republican vote. Meanwhile, only 7% of Democrats are unsure, with 19% of independents still deciding.<\/p>\n<p>In good news for Hogan, he does have decisive support among independents compared to Alsobrooks, 53% to 27%.<\/p>\n<p>Alsobrooks faces some lack of name recognition, as 41% of voters are unsure whether they approve of her or not, while Hogan only has 18% undecided.
