Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) is leading former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) in the state’s closely watched Senate race, a new poll found.
The survey, conducted by Gonzales Research & Media Services, found Alsobrooks leading with 46 percent of statewide voters compared to Hogan’s 41 percent, if the election were held today. Eleven percent of respondents said they were still undecided.
More than 70 percent of Democrats said they would support Alsobrooks but 21 percent said they could cast their ballot for Hogan. Eighty-two percent of Republican voters said they would support Hogan and just 5 percent backed Alsobrooks.
Hogan also has the edge among independent voters: 31 percent of independents said they will vote for Alsobrooks and 41 percent say they will vote for the former governor. Twenty-eight percent of independents are undecided, according to the survey, which was first reported by The Washington Post.
The poll comes on the heels of Alsobrooks delivering a prime-time speech at the Democratic National Convention last month.
