An impressive 62 percent of Maryland voters approve of Hogan’s performance as governor, according to a poll conducted this month. Among Democrats, who dominate the state’s ranks of registered voters, 59 percent approve of the job he’s doing.

A July poll from D.C.-based firm Morning Consult pegged his approval rating at 68 percent – the second highest in the country behind Massachusetts Gov.
