10:16 am
northern virginia. i think you would see that here. the most exciting race in maryland is the democratic senate primary. the presidential side won't as exciting. >> the anti-trump movement, this is something that you talk about on the show. at this point is it picking up, losing steam? >> it seems to be losing steam. and is this a huge topic at the start of the show and it gets pretty contentious in a happy way. but everybody is in a good mood about the contention. but you look at we have a new pennsylvania poll that shows trump with a double digit lead, but if you add up cruz and kasich together, they will be over 50%. in indiana, trump has the lead, but if you add up cruz and kasich, they would be over 50%. so they know that case he can has t cake he kasich has the shot in maryland, but cruz refuses to get out and

10:19 am
someplace you go to, it's something do you wherever you are. >> reporter: take a look at that graphic and you can see as a whole we're driving more miles during the weekday than ever, but even as more and more people have moved into the region, the numbers haven't spiked dramatically. transportation experts say that is because we're also now embracing telework as a major option and it's having an impact. and take a look at this graphic, these are all the people who either drive, take metro or the bus or commuter rail who telework occasionally now, but look how many more of them could actually be tell are a commuting. it's now recommended that people who come from long distances take a serious look at telecommuting to improve everyone's commute. demetrius one of those telecommuting regularly now, he just doesn't enjoy the day to day commute. >> getting on metro, sometimes the bus might be 20 minutes late
