Washington Post poll of Maryland (No Suprise) Obama up 60-36
Poll is a week old but they finally released it yesterday. No surprises with Obama and Cardin comfortably ahead. Still happy to see such a big margin in a blue state as we need to build up our popular vote margin as much as possible in blue states to off-set expected Romney margins in deep south states--or so the pollsters would lead us to believe:
5. (AMONG REGISTERED VOTERS) If the presidential election were being held today and the candidates were (Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the Democrats) and (Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, the Republicans), for whom would you vote? Which candidates are you leaning toward, (Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the Democrats) or (Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, the Republicans)? (ASKED IF ALREADY VOTED) For whom did you vote?
NET LEANED VOTE PREFERENCE
Other Neither Would not No

6. (AMONG REGISTERED VOTERS) Now turning to the U.S. Senate election in Maryland, if the 2012 election for the U.S. Senate were being held today, would you vote for (Ben Cardin, the Democrat), (Daniel Bongino, the Republican), Rob Sobhani, the independent candidate or Dean Ahmad, the libertarian candidate? Which one would you lean toward right now?

...this huge margin for Obama certainly does make all the outspoken GOPers in this area much more tolerable.
I just keep telling myself it's a good thing all these Repukes live here in Maryland, because if they lived somewhere else, their vote might actually manage to get someone elected!
