Obama Leads Romney By 22%, Cardin Leads Bongino By 20%

It is not often we get polls for political races in Maryland, but today we did get a new poll from the organization YouGov for the Presidential and Senatorial race.

It is not often we get polls for political races in Maryland, but today we did get a new poll from the organization YouGov showing that both Barack Obama and Ben Cardin are well ahead in their respective races.

PRESIDENT - MARYLAND (YouGov)
Barack Obama (D-inc) 58%
Mitt Romney (R) 36%

US SENATE - MARYLAND (YouGov)
Ben Cardin (D-inc) 50%
Dan Bongino (R) 30%

The poll doesn't break down the states into specific counties, but assuming Howard County is included with the "Baltimore Suburbs, that portion of the state favors Obama 51%-40% and favors Cardin 48%-32%. Interestingly, even though it seems like his commercials are the only ones I ever see on TV, Independent candidate Rob Sobihani is not included as a choice in this poll.

When I heard yesterday that this poll was coming out, I was hoping they might have some numbers for the ballot questions, but it appears this poll was strictly focused on the races for President and US Senate.
