According to two recent polls, Gov. O'Malley appears to be poised for reelection on Nov. 2nd. We personally never expected otherwise.
Over the weekend, The Baltimore Sun released poll results that showed O'Malley has a 14-point lead over former Gov. Ehrlich. On Monday, The Washington Post released an additional poll with similar results.
The latest polls follow months of hard fought campaigning (a rematch had been speculated between the 2006 rivals before either of them had officially entered the race), numerous campaign ads, three debates, and some recent high profile visits to the state. Last Thursday, O'Malley held a rally in Federal Hill with former President Clinton, while Ehrlich took to a farm this weekend with failed presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani and a strategically placed dump truck.
Throughout the campaign season, many of the polls asking "If the election for Maryland governor were held today, for whom would you vote?" have shown favor to O'Malley. Now that early voting has begun we can only hope the same people participating in the polls are heading out to vote.
