The University of Maryland, Baltimore County's Institute of Politics released results from a poll on Monday, sharing that a top priority for Marylanders heading into 2026 is the cost of healthcare.
More than 3 in 4 respondents called it a high priority, followed closely by the quality of K-12 public education, and reducing crime and improving public safety.
Just 27% of respondents to the UMBC poll said that redrawing congressional district lines is a top priority.
This comes as Maryland appears to have slowed down an attempt at redistricting, with the Governor appointing a Redistricting Advisory Commission to discuss the idea early in November.
The UMBC poll found that 17% of the people they polled, had paid no attention to the redistricting efforts.
