Maryland Juice just received a press release from 6th Congressional District Democratic nominee John Delaney showing a 9-point lead over Rep. Roscoe Bartlett. Indeed, Mr. Bartlett's twenty years of service as a Republican incumbent do not appear to be aiding him in his efforts to hold his seat.
Notably, yesterday The Washington Post took a look at the 1st Quarter Congressional fundraising reports from around the nation and compiled a list of winners and losers. 6th Congressional District incumbent, Rep. Roscoe Bartlett made the top losers list (see below). Today's polling numbers further confirm his endangered status.

The poll discloses additional significant data:

CD6: John Delaney Internal Polling Memo 4/17/2012
Notably, yesterday The Washington Post took a look at the 1st Quarter Congressional fundraising reports from around the nation and compiled a list of winners and losers. 6th Congressional District incumbent, Rep. Roscoe Bartlett made the top losers list (see below). Today's polling numbers further confirm his endangered status.
WASHINGTON POST: Rep. Roscoe Barlett (R-Md.): Not only did the incumbent win his primary this month with just 44 percent of the vote; he also got outraised $800,000 to $255,000 by his new Democratic opponent, John Delaney. And that’s not counting the $1.7 million Delaney has self-funded. Given that Bartlett now has a Democratic-leaning seat (thanks to redistricting), it’s hard to call him anything short of an underdog.
