(Baltimore, MD) -- A new poll finds Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott is picking up support in his bid for reelection.

The Goucher College-Baltimore Banner survey shows 40-percent of likely Democratic voters would cast ballots for Scott in next month's primary, while 32-percent would vote for former Mayor Sheila Dixon.

In a similar poll last October, Scott trailed Dixon 39-to-27 percent.

Eleven-percent would prefer former Maryland deputy attorney general Thiru Vignarajah and three-percent said they would support businessman and entrepreneur Bob Wallace.
