Vice President Harris received the support of 63% of Maryland voters in the same poll, while former President Trump had an approval rating of 31%.
Harris has overwhelming support in Maryland, which should boost Alsobrooks' chances of victory, but Republicans are hoping for an upset given Hogan's popularity as a two-term governor.
The latest poll is similar to another recent poll by The Hill/DC News Now/Emerson College released last week, which found Alsobrooks with 49 percent of voters' support, while Hogan had 42 percent.
Also-Brooks is leading with 49.7 percent to Hogan's 40.4 percent, according to The Hill/Decision Desk average of Maryland polls.
