Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott nears the last year of his term facing a dip in his approval rating and a serious Democratic primary challenger in Sheila Dixon, according to a new survey from Goucher College Poll in partnership with The Baltimore Banner.
The survey found that 56% of respondents disapprove of the mayor’s performance in office. That’s an increase from a similar June 2022 poll, which found that 47% of respondents disapproved of his tenure.
The Goucher-Banner poll surveyed 711 registered Baltimore voters by cellphone and landline from Sept. 19-23. The poll has a 3.7 percentage point margin of error.
The poll also asked 537 registered Democrats about matchups for mayor and City Council president. Those responses have a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.
