Also, in the GOP primary, Christie leads Cruz 47-0 among moderates.

Exciting. :)

I'm surprised that Jeb and Rand do almost as hourrible as Ted Cruz.

How close does Maine have to get before you could conceivably see a split between the two CDs?

How close does Maine have to get before you could conceivably see a split between the two CDs?

Looking at the CD results from the past 3 elections...6 points or closer.

2004:
ME-AL: Kerry +9
ME-02: Kerry +6

2008:
ME-AL: Obama +18
ME-02: Obama +12

2012:
ME-AL: Obama +15
ME-02: Obama +9

In 2000, the gap between the CDs was also a lot lower, more similar to 2004 than 2008/2012. So I expect if Clinton is the nominee the gap will be lower as well. Realistically, Christie will probably have to come within 4-5 points to win CD 2.

Wouldn't there have been redistricting in both 2000 and 2010?  I would think the only relevant numbers would be the 2012 numbers, since those had the same district lines as 2016.

I had to check the crosstabs myself to be sure that this wasn't a typo...

PPP's age crosstabs are usually funky.

Fat man could play well here, who knows. I suppose Maine has a weird intersection of Obama-Christie voters and Romney-Clinton voters though.

Consistent with what we're seeing in other state polls.  In Christie vs. Clinton, most of the Democratic states are trending Republican and vice versa.
