UMBC Poll: Lights out on Halloween for one in 10 Maryland houses

If you’re trick-or-treating Thursday night, expect to come up empty-handed at about one in 10 houses. That’s according to a new poll by the UMBC Institute of Politics, in which 11 percent of Marylanders said they will pretend they’re not home on Halloween. Fortunately, you’ll have some luck on the rest of the block, where 77 percent said they plan to give out candy or treats, and 5% said they will be handing out something else.
