BALTIMORE – According to a new poll conducted by RMG Research, Congressman David Trone leads Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks by 20 points (45%-25%) in the upcoming Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. The poll also found that if Trone were to sign the U.S. Term Limits pledge in support of congressional term limits, his lead over Alsobrooks would expand to 42 points (59%-17%).
The statewide poll, which was conducted from November 15-17, found that 82 percent of likely Democratic primary voters in Maryland support term limits for Congress. While Trone has previously expressed support for the issue, Alsobrooks has not commented and neither candidate has yet signed the USTL pledge.
“The message from this poll is clear: Maryland voters are fed up with the broken status quo in Washington. They want term limits. ” said Nick Tomboulides, Executive Director of U.S. Term Limits, which commissioned the poll. “This presents an opportunity for either candidate to make inroads with voters by signing the pledge.”
The U.S. Term Limits pledge is not a self-limit. It only asks the signer to cosponsor and vote for a constitutional amendment applying limits of three House terms and two Senate terms to all of Congress.
The survey of 500 likely Democratic primary voters in Maryland was conducted online by RMG Research, Inc. from November 15-17 using a representative sample to reflect the state’s population of registered voters. It has a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points. RMG Research is owned and operated by Scott Rasmussen, founder of Rasmussen Reports and co-founder of ESPN.

A dangerous man! He’s offering you kids some candy so he can get in and do his very dirty work on you all…
another way to look at this is there are term limits and its called when your times up, you either leave office or you’re reelected. The voters are able to decide term limits. However, I understand the frustration. Don’t feel bad about having to write a member of Congress out- of- state/ out- of- district, just use their candidate e-mail address to do it, since there isn’t a way to do it on the US House/ US Senate website. As an example, if you care for a member of Congress in Colorado, you have to go to the website in Colorado that has their candidate information on it and get their e-mail address. Its is understandable to want a perspective other than that of your district/ state representative. Congress is bulging, it was never intended that we have US house districts are huge as they are, they’re supposed to be under 100,000. What kind of government have you given us? A republic, madam, if you can keep it. Its concerning, when you go to the US Congress website there isn’t a Committee devoted to reducing/ eliminating the national debt.
amazing! the national debt we’re in and yet, I bet Congress still has decent credit scores, above 600.
wait a minute! wait a minute! what about how wealthy Congress is?
