Poll Shows No Trend To GOP
Baltimore voters show little trend toward Republicans in a mid campaign poll. Democratic areas remain stronger than in 1942 and 1944, while evenly matched regions stay same. Some GOP gains noted in areas hostile to Democrats, with eight to twelve percent shifts. Despite slight changes, Democratic dominance on registration persists. A surprising mix of cross ticket preferences emerges in one area, with small percentages of Lane and O Conor supporters planning to back Republican candidates for Senate.
