Former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland is ahead of two Democratic challengers in the U.S. Senate election in Maryland by double digits, according to a University of Maryland poll for The Washington Post released on Wednesday.

Hogan served as the governor of Maryland from 2015 to 2023 and had a 77% approval rating upon leaving office. Hogan announced on Feb. 9 his candidacy for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin, and he currently leads two potential Democratic rivals — Rep. David Trone and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks — by 12 and 14 percentage points, respectively, according to the poll.

In a hypothetical general election match-up against Trone, Hogan would earn the support of 49% of respondents compared to 37% for Trone, and led Alsobrooks 50% to 36% according to the poll.
