Alsobrooks is up by 11 percentage points, while Republican Larry Hogan remains popular enough to close the gap and has pulled off upsets before.

Alsobrooks defeated Maryland Rep. David Trone in the May Democratic primary by 10 percentage points, even after the congressman who co-founded the Total Wine and More liquor store chain spent more than $60 million of his personal fortune on his campaign.
