Poll Shows Many Don't Know Candidates Four Weeks Before Election

Voters in Maryland go to the polls four weeks from today, and a new poll shows that a sizable number of Marylanders don't know enough about the major party candidates for governor to form a favorable or unfavorable opinion.

The Goucher College Poll of more than 700 residents finds that 32-percent did not know enough about Lt. Governor Anthony Brown to form an opinion, and 45-percent did not know enough about Republican Larry Hogan to form an opinion.

"Unfortunately for both of the candidates, there is a high level of don't know across Maryland," said Professor Mileah Kromer, Director of the Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Center at Goucher, which conducted the poll.
