Marylanders are concerned about their fiscal futures and are feeling the pinch from higher prices, according to a new poll.
More than half of Marylanders, 56%, say that recent price increases have caused them financial hardship.
About 30% said that meant a major financial hardship, while 26% said it had a minor effect, according to a Goucher College survey of 635 Maryland adults between March 1st and 6th. The poll, released Monday, has a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points.
The poll also asked residents to compare their current financial situation now to a year ago. One-third of respondents said they’re doing worse, while 19% said they are faring better. About 47% said their financial situation is “about the same.”
