CT: Quinnipiac University: Obama leads Romney by 13, Perry by 19

Wow Obama's actually under 50 in Connecticut.

I think it's slightly ahead of Maine as the state is more suburban. Maine has more Republicans elected, but those Republicans are barely Republicans.

Neither could be won by a conservative candidate. 

Paul LePage is pretty much a fire breathing conservative, and yet he won in Maine. Granted the Democrats ran a bad campaign, but he isn't exactly unpopular as a Governor there.

He won with 38% of the vote.

It's pretty difficult for any candidate to break 50 in a gubernatorial election in Maine.
