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.
"More than half of Mainers disapprove of Gov. Paul LePage’s job performance, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The poll, conducted by Portland-based Critical Insights, finds that 54 percent of those surveyed say they disapproved of how LePage, a Republican, is handling the job less than five months into his tenure. Thirty-one percent said they approved of LePage’s job performance. Fifteen percent were undecided."

That's definitely low. I can't find anything more recent than May so maybe they have gone up. 31% approval is on par with the least popular Governors, in fact I think only Rick Scott has had approval ratings lower than 31%
