ME: Public Policy Polling: LePage (R) leads by 14

[Dan the Roman]

     Maine is a state with a historically high share of voters who are willing to vote for independents (Perot broke 30% here in 1992), so the numbers drawn by the independent candidates are not surprising. If anything, I might expect them to be polling better.

      Anyway, is it really credible that Maine has a voter identification split of 37-39-25 D-R-I? That sounds quite bizarre to me.

It would be a massive swing from 2006. That was 37-29-34.

Interested in the congressional races. ME-01, is imo, with MA-02, the great missed opportunity of the cycle for the GOP in New England. Even Charlie Summers, had he decided to run again would probably beat Pingree. Scontras?
