Maryland Governor: O’Malley (D) Pulls Ahead Of Ehrlich (R

Democratic incumbent Martin O’Malley holds his largest advantage yet over Republican Bob Ehrlich in the race to be Maryland’s next governor.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds O’Malley earning 49% of the vote, while Ehrlich receives 41% support.  One percent (1%) favors some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This race now moves from a Toss-Up to Leans Democratic in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard.
 
Last month, O’Malley was only slightly ahead of Ehrlich, 50% to 47%.  The race has been neck-and-neck since late April.
