Statement On Rasmussen Poll Results


ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Republican Party Chairman Audrey Scott released the following statement regarding today’s Rasmussen Reports poll:

“After spending nearly a million dollars to spin his dismal record as governor, Martin O’Malley has dropped nine percent in the polls since January. If today’s poll tell us anything, it’s that no amount of money spent on TV can shield O’Malley from his record tax-hikes, unemployment, and budget deficits.”

Included in today’s poll:

· Bob Ehrlich’s favorable/unfavorable rating of 56 / 38 continues to remain higher than Martin O’Malley’s, 55 / 42.
· Martin O’Malley continues to struggle with his base of Democrat voters, earning the support of only 70% of Democrats.
· 41% of Marylander’s believe our economy is getting worse, not better as Martin O’Malley claims.
· Despite no ad buys, Bob Ehrlich’s message is resonating with voters while O’Malley’s lead has been completely erased.

Wait - the very poll they are touting shows Ehrlich lost the 3 point lead he held a month ago. Now, it's still within the margin of error, but I'd say that's the most important data that came from this poll. I was wondering why there was no mention of head to head in the story, just favorable/unfavorable. Now I know why.
