The most recent UMBC Institute of Politics poll asked Marylanders about their level of attention and knowledge on state politics, as well as their baseball allegiance. According to the poll, 64% of respondents said they pay "a great deal" or "some" attention to news about Maryland state politics; only 35% said they do not. The poll also found that the most common sources for news about politics and government were local television news, newspapers, social media, and podcasts. The average respondent answered two multiple-choice questions about state government and the length of a Maryland governor's term (4 years), the number of Republican seats in Maryland's U.S. House delegation, and the approximate share of seats held by Democrats in the Maryland General Assembly (71 to 80 percent): 21%. The final question of the poll was about the upcoming Major League Baseball season and what team Marylanders consider themselves fans of: The Baltimore Orioles, The Washington Nationals, and Not Really a Baseball Fan.
