Description | Incumbent has only fair record with voters, poll finds
Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon holds a formidable lead over her rivals in this year's Democratic primary campaign, even though nearly half the voters surveyed believe the city is on the wrong track, a new poll for The Sun shows.
The survey indicates that most Baltimore Democratic voters believe that Dixon is doing only a fair job at controlling crime, improving city schools and making government honest, yet she has a solid overall approval rating and voters seem willing to give her a chance to prove herself in a full four-year term.
With less than two months until the Sept. 11 primary election, Dixon leads City Councilman Keiffer J. Mitchell Jr., 47 percent to 15 percent, with 28 percent of the electorate undecided, according to the poll of 601 likely voters who were interviewed on July 8 to July 10. The poll, which has a margin of error of 4 percentage points, was conducted by OpinionWorks, an independent, nonpartisan Annapolis-based firm. |
