I don't generally put stock in polls that only sample 810 people, but it's the story as written that I find particularly interesting. For example:
The Republican governor’s approval rating was higher among Democrats than among members of his own party: 82 percent of Democrats, 74 percent of independents and 71 percent of Republicans thought Hogan was doing a good job.
Of course, Hogan is a liberal in every other way, so it's no surprise you hear Democrats supporting the draconian measures he took early on, and the wishy-washy measures he has more recently given (giving full authority to the counties).
He probably would have been squarely in the center of the Democratic Party 20-25 (i.e. a Clintonian "new Democrat" - socially liberal, fiscally moderate). Since he's much more concerned about controlling people's behavior than their freedom, there's certainly not much conservative about him.
At the federal level, President Donald Trump’s approval rating sunk two points to 40 percent while his disapproval rating climbed three points to 58 percent.
As the 2020 presidential election looms, the president trails presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden by 24 points, the poll found.
As I said in a comment on The MCJ last week, the DNC could put forth the love child of the corpses of Hitler, Pol Pot, Ghengis Khan, and Nero and Biden would still carry this state comfortably. I have no hope of Maryland becoming red (in the voting sense, anyway, we KNOW it's red in the other sense).
