Mr. Ehrlich has opened up a 3 percentage point lead over the Democratic governor in one of the nation's more liberal states, according to an automated survey of over 750 likely voters by the polling firm Magellan Strategies. It is the first poll to show the one-term former GOP governor ahead in the race.
According to the Magellan poll, Mr. Ehrlich was preferred by 46 percent of state voters to 43 percent for Mr. O'Malley, a close political ally of President Obama. About 4 percent of those polled preferred another candidate and 7 percent were undecided.
The spread was within the poll's 3.5 percent margin of error, but another finding suggested more political troubles for the Democratic incumbent. Only 41 percent of Maryland voters said they had a favorable opinion of the governor, compared to 45 percent with an unfavorable opinion. For Mr. Ehrlich, 51 percent of voters reported having a favorable opinion vs. 32 percent with a negative opinion.

So 750 people got a robocall ... 3 percent more people said they'd vote for Bob over Martin... but the poll has a 3.5 percent margin of error? Sounds like this poll doesn't really tell me anything at all. And the sample size is way too small to really tell you anything.
go Bob and Kendra we need you both back in the driver's seat before we have a camera watching every move we make like the one they installed along the power lines in front of Fruitland Elementary
just like the ones in O'Malley's birthplace Montgomery Co. so they can mail you a fine that you have no recourse. isn't that a great plan? no labor on the part of police lust all revenue
