Should Democratic candidates dissociate themselves from Clinton? Well, I know of one candidate who may have been hurt by doing that.. One swallow does not a summer make. Nevertheless, I was struck by the results of a recent poll of voter sentiment in the Maryland gubernatorial race conducted by the local Gazette papers, the Baltimore Sun, and a local polling firm (Potomac, Inc.) I saw it in this week's issue of the Montgomery County (D.C. suburbs) Gazette. Four years ago, The Democratic candidate for Governor, Parris Glendenning, won by only some 5,000 or so votes over his Republican opponent, Ellen Saurbrey. She is his opponent this time as well, and judging from the polls, the vote may be just as close. Glendenning still has a slim lead in the polls, but his support seems to be slipping, especially in Baltimore and Prince Georges County. The pollsters attribute that to two causes, 1)Glendenning's cool relations with some key politicians, and 2) "lingering resentment" among core Democratic supporters (especially blacks) of Glendenning's decision to condemn President Clinton, saying he was not a proper role model for young people, and also to cancel a tentatively scheduled fund-raisser with the President. I quote: That appears to have hurt Glendenning. Clinton's job appproval rate among blacks in Maryland is incredibly high, 90 percent compared with 58 percent among all races statewide, says Keith Haller, president of Potomac, Inc. "It's God-like," Haller said. "It's in another stratosphere." Clinton's job approval also is strong among undecided voters, 63 percent to 24 percent, Haller said. "It may be another sign that Glendenning may have hurt himself with the public dumping of Clinton." I guess it all depends on the state you live in! jbe
