In perfect timing for the Orioles ALDS game 1, a poll recently revealed that nearly three quarters of Baltimore City fans are optimistic the Orioles will make it to the world series.
The poll, known as The Goucher College Poll, was conducted between Sept. 19 and Sept. 23.
The popular poll surveyed 711 Baltimore City registered voters on their opinions about the Baltimore Orioles and Orioles Chairman and CEO John Angelos.
According to the poll, almost all Baltimore City voters have got their eyes locked in on the O’s and their possible road to the World Series.
Let’s take a look at the results:
According to the poll, 53 percent of voters say they’ve paid “some” or “a lot” of attention to the Orioles this season, and 45 percent say they’ve paid only “a little” attention or “none.”
Additionally, the poll revealed that nearly three-quarters (72%) of voters are “somewhat” or “very” optimistic that the Orioles will make it to the World Series, and 17 percent are “a little” or “not at all” optimistic.
Mileah Kromer, a new Oriole’s season ticket holder and director of the Sarah T. Hughes Center for Politics shared the following statements:
“Following a magical seven months where the Orioles won more than 100 games during the regular season and captured the American League East, Baltimore City voters express optimism that their hometown team will make it to the World Series.”
Mileah adds that, “It’s an exciting time to be a Baltimorean. Let’s go O’s.”
