Goucher College Poll, in partnership with The Baltimore Banner, conducted a survey of 800 Maryland registered voters about the U.S. Senate race, Gov. Wes Moore, and the state of the state. The poll also included 408 likely Democratic voters for the primary. The survey was conducted from March 19 to March 24 and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points for registered voters and 4.9 percentage points for likely Democratic voters.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore warned local leaders at a conference that the state is entering a challenging period, with potential budget shortfalls looming. Despite applause from the audience, Moore highlighted that Maryland's economy is lagging behind other states and the nation as a whole. He emphasized the need for a balanced approach, data-driven decision-making, and prioritizing spending to stimulate long-term economic growth. The governor did not provide specific plans for addressing the worsening financial situation but stressed the importance of discipline and hiring a chief performance officer to monitor progress. A report from legislative analysts projected a deficit of hundreds of millions of dollars in the near future, which could grow to $1.8 billion by 2028 if no action is taken. The state's financial outlook will become clearer next month when the Office of the Comptroller issues a report estimating future government revenue.
