Poll: Alsobrooks leads Hogan by five points in Maryland Senate race

Prince George’s County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks (D) has pulled ahead of former governor Larry Hogan (R) in Maryland’s competitive Senate race, showing a five-point lead among registered voters just over two months before the November election, according to a poll released Wednesday. The poll, conducted between Aug. 24 and Aug. 30 by Gonzales Research & Media Services, found that 46 percent of registered voters would support Alsobrooks “if the election were held today,” as opposed to 41 percent who said they support Hogan — an edge that reflects the momentum Alsobrooks may have gained after delivering a prime-time speech at last month’s Democratic National Convention.
