New poll: Most Marylanders approve of Larry Hogan. That doesn’t mean he’ll win in November

An overwhelming majority of Marylanders believe Larry Hogan was a good governor. Most Marylanders will vote against him in this year’s Senate race. Why? He’s a Republican.

Nearly two-thirds of Marylanders, including most Democrats, have a favorable view of former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, who is now running for an open seat in the U.S. Senate. Yet in head-to-head polls against his most likely Democratic rivals, Hogan is in a statistical tie, well below 50%.
