They are vying for the seat being vacated \u200bby retiring Senator Ben Cardin. The poll indicates\u2062 that Hogan has a slight advantage among\u2064 voters over 50, while Alsobrooks shows stronger support among women, \u200bwho favor her by 8 points, \u200dcontrasting\u200c with Hogan&#8217;s popularity among men, who prefer him by 10 points. Political analyst Bob Ward suggests \u2064that Hogan&#8217;s \u200cappeal to some Democrats, coupled \u2064with the undecided status of many voters concerning Alsobrooks, gives her potential \u200dmomentum in\u200c the race, which remains\u2063 too close\u200c to call.  <\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Alsobrooks and Hogan in dead heat for Maryland Senate seat: Poll<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<p>The Senate race in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/maryland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Maryland<\/a> between former Gov.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/larry-hogan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> Larry Hogan<\/a> and Prince George&rsquo;s County Executive Democrat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/angela-alsobrooks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Angela Alsobrooks<\/a> is now evenly tied.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>According to a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/pri\/topics\/voter-research\/politics\/maryland-older-voter-survey-2024\/?CMP=RDRCT-PRI-POLT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>poll<\/a> from AARP commissioned by the bipartisan team of Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research, Hogan and Alsobrooks are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3116019\/larry-hogan-angela-alsobrooks-debates-maryland-senate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>neck-and-neck<\/a>, polling at 46% each.

They are competing to succeed retiring Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD). The poll indicates that Hogan has a slight edge among voters over 50, leading Alsobrooks by 2 percentage points. However, there is a significant gender divide: Alsobrooks performs 8 points better with women, while men favor Hogan by 10 points. Bob Ward from Fabrizio Ward noted that given Hogan&#8217;s appeal among Democrats and the number of undecided voters who may not be familiar with Alsobrooks, she has potential for growth in the race. He suggested it wouldn&#8217;t be surprising if many undecided voters lean towards Alsobrooks as Election Day approaches. If these polling numbers hold true, it could signal a shift in Maryland&#8217;s political landscape; traditionally a strong Democratic state\u2014where all but one of its eight House seats are held by Democrats\u2014hasn&#8217;t elected a Republican senator since 1987. In the presidential context, President Joe Biden won Maryland by 33 points in 2020, while Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump significantly at 64% to Trump&#8217;s 32%, maintaining an advantage across nearly all demographic groups except Republicans. Despite his endorsement from Trump, Hogan has sought to distance himself from him during his campaign; meanwhile, Alsobrooks aligns herself with Harris&#8217;s popularity. The poll shows Hogan enjoys favorable ratings at 59%, including support from 57% of Democrats surveyed. The AARP survey included responses from 1,258 likely Maryland voters between August 14 and August 20 and carries a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2910,"featured_media":2331808,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Larry-Hogan-Angela-Alsobrooks.jpg.optimal.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32427,34059,5864,39430,3921],"class_list":["post-2331807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-alsobrooks","tag-election-2024","tag-hogan","tag-maryland-senate","tag-poll"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Larry-Hogan-Angela-Alsobrooks.jpg.optimal.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2910"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2331807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2331808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2331807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2331807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2331807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
