Polls are a snapshot of Maryland’s political opinions, but analyzing three statewide polls in the past year provides the start of a moving image of how opinions in the state are changing.
Democratic candidate Wes Moore won nearly all precincts in the D.C. and Maryland suburbs, while winning cities on the Eastern Shore and in Western Maryland.
The latest Goucher College Poll shows Maryland Republican are more likely to share similar views than Maryland Democrats, and many Maryland voters said they are more motivated to vote since the U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down nationwide abortion protections.
The state’s inability to post precinct vote data in real time means outside analysts and enthusiasts are missing a key tool to help verify the accuracy of vote counts.
