Goucher Poll: A Third of Marylanders Facing More Financial Hardship than a Year Ago; Hogan Approval Ratings Remain High

Marylanders are concerned about their fiscal futures and are feeling the pinch from higher prices, according to a new poll. More than half of Marylanders, 56%, say that recent price increases have caused them financial hardship. About 30% said that meant a major financial hardship, while 26% said it had a minor effect, according to a Goucher College survey of 635 Maryland adults between March 1st and 6th. The poll, released Monday, has a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points.
