MDGOP releases poll results on Governor's Race

45 - 42

Poll: Hogan slashes Brown’s lead to within margin of error as overtaxed Marylanders look for change of leadership.

Annapolis, MD – August 22, 2014 – A new poll released by the Maryland Republican Party today confirms that since the June 24 primary, gubernatorial candidate Larry Hogan has virtually eliminated Lt. Governor Anthony Brown’s once commanding lead.

According to Maryland GOP Executive Director Joe Cluster, “This poll confirms that Marylanders across the spectrum and throughout the state have had it O’Malley-Brown’s 40 straight tax increases and want a change of leadership in Annapolis.”

KEY FINDINGS
· Hogan has closed gap with Brown to 3 points, 42 to 45
· Voters overwhelmingly said taxes are much too high, including 62 percent of independents and 31 percent of Democrats
· Fully 70 percent (53% strongly, 17% somewhat) of all voters surveyed want the next governor to repeal some of O’Malley’s tax increases.

The telephone survey of 500 hundred likely voters was conducted August 18 – 19 byOnMessage, Inc, a national public opinion survey firm. The poll’s margin of error is +/- 4.38 percent.

After the royal screwing that Marylanders have taken from O'Malley and Brown this should be no contest. The problem is the mentality of the voters.

Amen 4:38! Let's start by repealing the flush tax, gas tax, 20% increase in sales tax for a start. I can't understand why any one would vote for Brown and get more of what we've been getting for the last eight years. Help me out here.
