Former Gov. Bob Ehrlich, R, and Gov. Martin O’Malley, D, are still locked in a dead heat in their remix of the 2006 election, according to today’s Rasmussen survey.

But more important than the 47-46 percent topline result, perhaps, is the trend:

........................Feb.          Apr.       June        Jul.

O’Malley            49             47           45         46

Ehrlich               43             44           45         47
