Even Democrats in Martin O'Malley's home state don't want him.

He was governor and mayor of the largest city. When the voters who know you best won't vote for you, that's a horrible recommendation. And there are reasons why. His record of using terroristic, abusive police tactics as mayor of Baltimore is part of the story.

* Only 7 percent of Maryland Democrats support Martin O'Malley for president, poll shows.

* 4 percent support of Democrats in Baltimore.

* Just 2 percent support in Baltimore County.

Marylanders continue to have a low level of support for former Gov. Martin O'Malley's presidential ambitions, a new poll for The Baltimore Sun and the University of Baltimore shows.

Only 7 percent of Maryland Democrats say they would vote for O'Malley for president, compared with 56 percent for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and 23 percent for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

O'Malley has failed to break out of single digits anywhere in the country, including his home state. Opponents cite O'Malley's lackluster polling in the state he led for eight years to question his viability on the national stage.

O'Malley is supported by only 4 percent of Democrats in Baltimore, the city he once led as mayor for two terms, and just 2 percent of primary voters in nearby Baltimore County, the poll found.

1. There are reasons other than 'dislike' or 'hate' that could explain these numbers

While I am a hard core Bernie supporter, I greatly respect Martin O'Malley, and would gladly vote for him if Bernie were not in the race ....

Much love for MOM ...

2. How about "terroristic" and "abusive"

He should be brought up on charges for mass kidnappings and false imprisonment.

3. Absolutely

I'm part of the 93% in MD that doesn't support MOM; however I do like and respect him.

Just because someone doesn't support a candidate for president doesn't mean they dislike him.
