The Senate race in Maryland between former Gov. Larry Hogan and Prince George’s County Executive Democrat Angela Alsobrooks is now evenly tied.

According to a new poll from AARP commissioned by the bipartisan team of Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research, Hogan and Alsobrooks are neck-and-neck, polling at 46% each. The two are running to replace Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), who is retiring.

When broken down by voter demographics, Hogan is polling 2 percentage points ahead of Alsobrooks among voters over the age of 50. There is also a large gender gap: Alsobrooks polls 8 points higher with women than men, who preferred Hogan by 10 points.

“Given Hogan’s support among Democrats, and the number of voters who still don’t have a firm opinion of who Angela Alsobrooks is, she has more upside potential in the race,” Bob Ward, a partner with Fabrizio Ward, said, noting it is “absolutely too close to call.”

“It would not be a surprise to see most of the undecided [voters] in this race break to Alsobrooks by the time Election Day comes,” Ward continued.

It's going to be tough to maintain a 40 point split from the top of the ticket among independents and democrats.  Hogan was overwhelmingly popular as governor.  He has super PAC funding and may pull it off.

Republicans controlling both Chambers would be great

But even if they just control the Senate, it would still keep government divided enough for the upcoming Harrison administration

If The Party's election apparatus can't control the outcome of this one -- in as blue-as-it-gets Maryland -- they'd better take it back to drawing board...
