Back to EpisodesMaryland by the Numbers: The Latest UMBC Poll With Mileah Kromer
Description
This week on the Conduit Street Podcast, Kevin Kinnally and Dominic Butchko sit down with Dr. Mileah Kromer, director of the Institute of Politics at UMBC, to break down the latest UMBC Poll releases and what they reveal about Maryland voters heading into the 2026 election cycle.
The conversation covers affordability pressures, trust in government, public safety, confidence in institutions, and how Marylanders view the direction of both the state and the Baltimore region. They also dig into how much attention residents pay to state and local government, what polling can — and cannot — tell us, and how opinions shifted between statewide polling in March and Baltimore-focused polling in April.
And yes, they also make time for Orioles baseball, regional identity, and whether Marylanders agree more on sports than politics right now.
Tune in for a wide-ranging conversation on polling, public opinion, government trust, and the issues shaping Maryland politics and county government in 2026
