New Poll Shows Moore Is Already Out of Touch
Wes Moore isn't even in office yet, but he's already showing how out of touch his Administration is with Marylanders
Push Polls are, by definition, not a serious enterprise. Online push polls are even less credible. The candidate using the push poll tries to push public opinion in a certain direction toward whatever opinion the candidate wants voters to have.
But they are useful views into the psyche of a candidate and their plans for the future.
Wes Moore’s political operation put out a push poll on his website asking participants to “Let us know what issues are top-priority for you and your families in 2023 by taking our survey below!”
The poll itself is, of course, a litany of Moore’s policy priorities, a carefully curated set of questions designed for hard Democrats.
But are the things that Moore wants to talk about the things that Marylanders actually care about? The latest Gonzales Poll suggests otherwise.
As for issues, 29% say the economy and the 24% say crime and public safety are the most important issues facing Maryland, 10% say education, 10% say roads and transportation, 8% say affordable housing, 7% say climate change and the environment, and 6% say the immigration problems being created by the chaos at our southern border.
The numbers from the poll truly speak for themselves and show that across the board that what Moore is selling is not what Marylanders actually want.
Most of the issues that Moore talks about in his poll don’t even register with the preponderance of Maryland voters. A majority of Marylanders are focused on the economy and on crime. And yet, Moore is talking about “reproductive choice” when Maryland has some of the least restrictive abortion laws in the country and “voting rights” when Maryland has some of the least restrictive voting laws in the country.
Moore isn’t looking for serious opinions, obviously. He’s looking to collect email addresses. But he is also looking for political cover for the radical leftward shift he plans for Maryland. But one thing is clear: Wes Moore is not on the same page as the majority of Marylanders.
