Four months out from Maryland’s gubernatorial primaries, a poll conducted for Rushern Baker’s campaign shows a four-way battle among Democrats — with Comptroller Peter V.R. Franchot holding onto a solid, but not overwhelming, lead.
Franchot was the choice of 23% of Democrats surveyed. Baker, a former two-term Prince George’s County executive making his second bid for governor, was the choice of 15%.
Former U.S. Labor Secretary and Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez had 11% support and former non-profit CEO and author Wes Moore was the choice of 10% of the Democrats surveyed. The other candidates registered in the single digits or not at all.
The survey was conducted by the Washington, D.C., firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research. It was based on live phone interviews with 807 Democrats who self-identified as highly likely to cast a ballot in the July 19 primary.
