The Rest Of Maryland

This survey of Bush's approval/disapproval numbers is funny. The first reason is that it has recognizes two regions of Maryland:"Baltimore" and "Rest Of". The second reason is the distribution of disapproval/approval ratings in Baltimore vs "The Rest Of" Maryland. Do I read this right, that 53% of Baltimoreans disapprove of the job the President is doing, while the 62% of the "Rest Of" Maryland disapproves? The locations of these percentages seem backward, though I guess Montgomery County resides somewhere in "The Rest Of" Maryland. I find it weird, though, because I keep hearing how, outside of Baltimore, Maryland is "turning Red!". Maybe they mean Marxist after all.
