Wes Moore’s 65% approval rating among Marylanders makes him America’s third most popular governor. “His star has shot out like a comet,” said Roger Hartley, the dean of the University of Baltimore’s College of Public Affairs. “To this quickly ascend on the national scene is really, really impressive” — especially to have never held public office.
