Jessica Haire, Steuart Pittman neck and neck in county executive race, Anne Arundel college poll shows

A biannual poll conducted by Anne Arundel Community College shows the county executive race is neck-and-neck between Republican Jessica Haire and Democrat incumbent Steuart Pittman with about a month until Election Day. Among the 468 Anne Arundel County residents assessed between Sept. 23 to Oct. 1, 33% said they favor Haire, an Edgewater County Council member, and 31% said they favor the Pittman. Haire’s lead fell inside the poll’s 4.5% statistical margin of error. The Nov. 8 election now rests in the hands of the 21% of respondents who said they’re not favoring a candidate at this time and the 15% who said they are still too unfamiliar with either candidate.
