BACKGROUND: A Maryland Juice source has forwarded us the inaugural poll results from Goucher College's inaugural "Goucher Poll." The Baltimore-based school will now be polling Marylanders on a variety of topics and periodically releasing results.

OBAMA-ROMNEY APPROVAL RATINGS: Goucher surveyed Marylanders on Obama-Romney approval ratings, and not surprisingly, the President remains popular in the Free State:
O'MALLEY APPROVAL RATINGS: As for Governor Martin O'Malley:
BALLOT QUESTION RESULTS: But the the survey results on a few key issues in Maryland are a bit interesting.

Notably, 87% of Marylanders have reported seeing the endless array of gambing ads on television. See a summary of the results below:
