According to a recent poll conducted by Gonzales Research and Media Services, 46% of registered voters indicated they would support Alsobrooks &#8220;if the election were held today,&#8221; compared to 41% for Hogan. Although half of those surveyed have a favorable view of Hogan based on his gubernatorial tenure, only 41% expressed intent to vote for him. Patrick E. Gonzales, who authored the poll, noted that Hogan has broad appeal among voters but emphasized that winning statewide as a Republican in Maryland requires capturing a significant portion of Democratic votes\u2014specifically asking if Hogan can secure 30% from them by November 5.<\/p>\n<p>However, Alsobrooks faces challenges with name recognition; the poll revealed that 34% of registered voters did not recognize her name, including 17% of Democrats. The survey suggested that her numbers may have improved following her appearance at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), where she highlighted her long-standing friendship with Vice President Kamala Harris. Among undecided voters, an overwhelming 72% were unfamiliar with Alsobrooks&#8217; name and about 13% had no opinion about her.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, among undecided voters regarding Hogan&#8217;s candidacy, only 16% viewed him favorably while most remained neutral (61%). Notably, around one-fifth (21%) of surveyed Democrats indicated they would consider voting for Hogan. As he campaigns in this predominantly blue state, he positions himself as an anti-Trump Republican akin to centrist Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Despite receiving an endorsement from former President Donald Trump\u2014which he stated he neither sought nor desired\u2014Hogan clarified that his campaign would not promote this endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of presidential preferences within Maryland&#8217;s electorate, Harris leads Trump with support from 56% compared to Trump&#8217;s 35%. The methodology behind this poll involved contacting 820 registered voters likely to participate in the upcoming general election between August 24 and August 30 and carries a margin of error of plus or minus three-and-a-half percentage points<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2910,"featured_media":2336528,"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\/09\/maryland-senate-yard-signs.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32427,5864,39159,15698,32076],"class_list":["post-2336527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-alsobrooks","tag-hogan","tag-maryland-senate-race","tag-polling","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/maryland-senate-yard-signs.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336527","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=2336527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2336528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2336527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2336527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2336527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
