A majority of Marylanders said they have considered moving from the state in the near future even though they believe it is a good place to raise children, according to a poll released Thursday.
Many of those participating in the survey by the Institute of Politics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, expressed concerns with the state’s business climate, job market and friendliness toward retirees. The poll highlights a potential problem as Gov. Wes Moore (D) attempts to focus on growing the state’s economy.
“For a majority of Marylanders, the state is a great place to live and raise a family,” said Mileah Kromer, a pollster and director of the Institute of Politics.
There are also concerns.
The latest UMBC Poll surveyed 803 Maryland adults, including 769 who said they were registered voters, from Feb. 11-15. It has an overall margin of error of 3.5%. The margin of error among registered voters is also 3.5%.
Part one of the poll was released on Tuesday with a second part released Wednesday.
