Larry Hogan continues to earn high marks from Marylanders, including for his outspoken disavowal of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, according to a new Washington Post-University of Maryland poll. But Hogan’s party is viewed more negatively than it was a year ago in the heavily Democratic state, where Trump is overwhelmingly unpopular. “Donald Trump is a joke,” said Dixon, 25, who lives in Baltimore County and plans to vote for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. While 71 percent of likely Republican voters support Trump, over 1 in 6 support Clinton, compared with just 1 in 20 Democrats who cross party lines to support Trump. A 46-percent plurality of registered voters say they would support Hogan if he ran for reelection, a figure much lower than his job-approval rating.
