Hogan's approval rating higher in urban areas than rural, better among Democrats than Republicans
Democrats are attacking Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan for alleged racist "dog-whistling" over his efforts to direct funding toward police – even as Hogan's approval rating with Black voters is nearly 80% in a poll released Tuesday.
"We, the people that live in the city of Baltimore, are not naïve enough to believe that your attacks come from any form of sincere concern about the problems we face," State's Attorney for Baltimore Marilyn Mosby said in a recent open letter to Hogan. "Rather, your actions are purely political, which is why you continue your incessant dog-whistling attacks about Baltimore crime, which contrasts with your deafening silence on the increased crime in the rest of the state."
That attack came after Hogan railed against Mosby and other Baltimore officials for the sky-high crime rates in the city, and pushed a "Re-Fund The Police" initiative that he announced Monday will include $500 million extra for officers' salaries, improvements to police facilities and more.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has overwhelmingly positive approval ratings among Black voters and in urban areas, despite Democratic attacks against his crime plan.
This was not surprising.
