Nearly half of the Maryland’s likely Democratic voters in this year’s primary election have not made up their minds about which candidate to pick for governor, a new poll shows.
If the primary election were held today, 47 percent of those voters surveyed said they “don’t know” which of eight declared candidates they would vote for, The Goucher Poll found.

Baltimore County Executive Kevin B. Kamenetz was right behind Baker, capturing the attention of 12 percent of those polled, and 10 percent said they would vote for Benjamin T. Jealous, the former president of the NAACP.
