Maryland’s General Assembly is set to resume another legislative session on Wednesday, January 8.
The Gonzales poll was conducted between December 27 to January 4. The poll questioned 811 registered voters in Maryland, who indicated they are likely to vote in the next election.
The margin of error (MOE), per accepted statistical standards, is a range of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, according to the Gonzales poll, and if the entire population was surveyed, there is a 95% probability that the true numbers would fall within this range.

The poll also shows that 76% of voters polled in Maryland approve of the current governor.

Wes Moore vs. Larry Hogan
Fifty-two percent of voters polled said they would vote for Gov. Wes Moore if he were to run against former Gov. Larry Hogan, according to the Gonzales poll.
According to the poll, 38% would vote for Hogan and 10% are undecided.
“These poll numbers are very similar to the election results two months ago, when former Governor Hogan vied for the open senate seat in Maryland,” the Gonzales poll states. “Former Governor Hogan has enjoyed a very distinguished career in politics, but his neither fish nor fowl style that served him so well during his tenure in office has become a touch passé in the current day political gestalt. His prospects next year, should he decide to run, will be determined largely by events beyond his control.”

Raising taxes to improve state deficit?
Maryland voters surveyed by the Gonzales poll strongly oppose raised taxes to deal with the state deficit.
Maryland lawmakers face a budget outlook worse than during the Great Recession in 2008-2009, with a $2.7B budget deficit for the next budget year, which begins July 1, 2025.
Only 17% said they support the state income tax increase, while 60% are against the motion. Fifty-five percent of voters polled strongly oppose a sales tax hike, while 65% strongly oppose an increase in the state property tax.
“Voters constantly express a willingness to pay taxes for needed services like transportation and public safety, but not for a problem they believe their elected representatives created,” the Gonzales poll said.
