Summary
Democrat Angela Alsobrooks is leading in Maryland’s competitive U.S. Senate race, holding an 11-point advantage over Republican Larry Hogan, according to a recent Washington Post-University of Maryland poll. This race is crucial for determining control of the Senate, with Alsobrooks garnering support from 51% of likely voters compared to Hogan’s 40%.
The poll indicates that Hogan, a former governor with a strong track record in the deep-blue state, remains popular among a significant portion of Democrats. Despite Alsobrooks’s lead, Hogan’s ability to attract bipartisan support poses a challenge for her campaign. Democrats are strategically framing the election as a referendum on Republican leadership rather than a direct contest against Hogan, emphasizing the potential consequences of a Republican-controlled Senate. This strategy includes linking Hogan to prominent Republican figures like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, aiming to sway undecided voters by highlighting the broader implications of their support for Hogan.
