Poll Shows Biden With 32-Point Lead, Hogan Still Popular, Voters Embracing Progressive Policies [View all]

Former vice president Joe Biden holds a 32-point lead over President Donald Trump in Maryland, a recent poll shows.

Biden was the choice of 62% of likely Maryland voters and Trump was named by 30% in a poll conducted Sept. 4-11 by OpinionWorks, an Annapolis survey research firm. The poll of 838 voters had a 3.4-point margin of error.

If those numbers hold, Biden would slightly outpace Hillary Clinton’s margin over Trump in 2016, when she took 60% in Maryland and Trump took just under 34%.

While 88% of Democrats and 87% of Republicans in Maryland said they will vote for the candidates of their own party, independents are breaking two-to-one for Biden (34% to 18%, with 45% unsure and the remainder saying they may not vote).
