How many R’s and I’s didn’t vote in 2016?

The poll doesn't say, but the sample includes 9% of people who didn't vote in 2016.

Here are a few more interesting poll results:

Approve or disapprove of the Collins' vote to confirm Bret Kavanaugh:

Region Sample Size Approve % Disapprove %
Acadia/Bangor CD2 11% 36 58
Cumberland 25% 25 69
North CD2 27% 52 42
Rest of CD1 29% 38 55
Southwest CD2 17% 45 45

Approve or disapprove of the Collins' vote against impeaching convicting President Trump:

NOTE: This question is written in the negative. First, they say "impeach" instead of convict or acquit, since the House impeaches and the Senate holds trials. Second, the question didn't ask their opinion of acquitting President Trump, it asked about not convicting President Trump. That introduces a bias towards the presumption of guilt instead of innocence (which is the standard in the United States).

Region Sample Size Approve % Disapprove %
Acadia/Bangor CD2 11% 30 66
Cumberland 25% 37 58
North CD2 27% 51 46
Rest of CD1 29% 44 55
Southwest CD2 17% 46 51

Approve or disapprove of the Collins' vote to repeal and replace Affordable Care Act:

Region Sample Size Approve % Disapprove %
Acadia/Bangor CD2 11% 57 34
Cumberland 25% 48 37
North CD2 27% 49 40
Rest of CD1 29% 54 35
Southwest CD2 17% 43 48

NOTE: The surprise here is that most of the state hates Obamacare and approved of Collins' vote to repeal it (even the liberal parts). However, southwest CD2 preferred to keep it, despite favoring her and preferring a Republican Senate. I don't know what the situation is in southwest Maine to drive this sentiment.

The electoral opinions and results in this state can be all over the place. What gives me hope is while democrats and greens outnumber republicans by a wide margin, it’s still possible to elect a conservative like Paul LePage Governor, and I think without the access Hollywood scandal Trump carries Maine in 2016.
