Baltimore Sun ^ | 10/31/02 | Andrew A. Green

For the first time, Democrat C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger has opened a significant lead against Republican Helen Delich Bentley in their race for Maryland's 2nd Congressional District, according to a new poll. The Maryland Poll - conducted for The Sun and The Gazette newspapers - found that Ruppersberger, the Baltimore County executive, leads the former congresswoman 46 percent to 38 percent, with 15 percent undecided with less than a week before Election Day. When undecided voters leaning one way or the other are taken into account, Ruppersberger's lead increases to 49-40.

I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but do we have any gains to offset these?

WTF ?!? Every poll I saw claimed Bentley was LEADING the 'Rat nitwit. She is practically an incumbent in this district. Where did they hatch this one from ?

This is the second straight independent poll showing Ruppersberger with a lead. The Gonzales-Arscott Maryland Poll (10/14-20) gave him a 47-43 edge. The race has seemed to move in his direction since Bentley peaked in late September.

From what I understand, it's not entirely the same district she represented when she left in 1995. Redistricting made this district more Democratic.

We can't win 'em all.
