When it comes to the police treatment of minorities, housing affordability, litter and Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby and her husband, City Council President Nick Mosby, Black and white Baltimore residents are deeply divided, according to a poll of city residents from The Baltimore Banner.

The June survey of Maryland voters shows a state divided by party.

The poll contacted 501 Democrats and 508 Republicans age 18 or older by landline and cellphone from June 15-19 and has a margin of error of 4.4%.

A recent poll commissioned for The Baltimore Banner found that despite the city’s struggles, there is an affinity among city residents for their hometown. For some, it is the diversity of the city, or the exuberant arts scene. For others, it is stately architecture, a vibrant patch of forest or the waterways rippling through the city. And yet others are indifferent about Baltimore or worried about a crime problem that they say seems to be getting worse.

Most residents say the city is on the wrong track but are hopeful about the future.
