Does anyone know what poll this article is refering to?

I looked it up myself.  I don't know where you're getting this version of the article from.  The article says:

In Maryland, where blacks make up about 30 percent of the electorate, the Democratic candidate for governor, Martin O’Malley, who is white, is leading the Republican incumbent, Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., in polls. Mr. O’Malley needs a large turnout among blacks in Baltimore to win, and he has mobilized more than 2,000 get-out-the-vote workers in black neighborhoods. He also helped his chances of attracting the black vote by selecting Anthony G. Brown, a black lawyer, as his running mate.

As a rule, I have found that the NY Times makes way too mistakes for a paper of its supposed "renown".  Yet another example.
