The voters polled by Gonzales Research prefer the combination of taxes and cuts by a wide margin over four other budget options. The least popular choices were reducing state aid to counties and tax increases by themselves. Less than 10% of survey respondents favored cutting salaries and pensions benefits to state workers as a potential budget solution, and fewer than one in five said budget cuts alone would do the trick.
The survey of 816 likely voters contacted last week also found they were evenly split over which candidate for governor is best equipped to handle the coming deficits, Democratic incumbent Martin O’Malley or Republican Bob Ehrlich, with 44% favoring each candidate.

they didnt poll the right people. how about cut fees, taxes, spending, and general stupidity.
i would like to meet the folks who favor tax hikes. my guess is that they are the ones who won't have to pay for those tax hikes
What crack are you all smoking to think and one person who has hard times would even consider it a privilege to take more money via taxes... They must be the stupidly rich ones saying its ok for taxes...
It won't happen because the right will paint tax increases as "gov. takeover" and the left will say spending cuts are "rich pasty white men leaving poor people to starve".
No one favors giving this wicked government more of our money via taxes. they are thieves.
This was the PG, Montgomery, Howard and Baltimore Counties including Balrimore City survey, That is the only areas surveyed by the Democrats since they control MD they want everything in their favor / policies.
