Hogan for Maryland released the following statement from Governor Hogan in response to new polling data from AARP showing Governor Hogan tied with his opponent. This is the first independent poll of the general election. The bipartisan poll, which shows Governor Hogan outperforming President Trump by 32 points, was conducted jointly by President Biden and President Trump’s pollster.
“I’ve been clear from the start that we are the underdogs in this race. People have always counted us out—and in this deep blue state, during this unprecedented and chaotic time in American politics, this uphill battle is a daunting climb. In spite of all of that, the palpable enthusiasm of Maryland voters for independent leadership has given our campaign real momentum, and the chance to defy the odds.
“No one will outwork us. We have been to every corner of the state, reached almost 100 stops on our Strong Independent Leadership Tour, and contacted over 120,000 voters in the general election. We’ve beaten the odds before, and with the grassroots support of Democrats, Independents and Republicans in every corner of the state, we are ready to do it again.
“Marylanders are fed up with politics as usual and the broken systems that no longer serve us. This year, we have a chance to fix it. Together—with courage and optimism—we can make a difference, and send a message to Washington that’s heard all over the country. I hope you’ll join us.”
