Poll shows Md. gubernatorial race narrows as both candidates get high-profile support

FREDERICK, Md. (WJLA/AP) - Just a week before the election, a new Gonzales Research poll, paid for by the Maryland GOP, shows Democratic Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown with just a 2-percentage point lead over his Republican challenger - which has energized the Larry Hogan campaign.

"This is a case where it is a toss up race, it matters about who shows up. None of the polls matter until we finish counting the votes," Hogan said while campaigning in Frederick on Monday.

Brown, campaigning in Bowie, downplayed talk of a dead heat, noting "there are all sorts of polls. Some say 11 points, some say 4 points. I say lets' see what the voters say come (next) Tuesday. That's the day."

Both candidates have been getting campaign support from high-profile people in recent weeks.
