Why not just post positive Trump polls?
Maine posted the highest vote for Ross Perot twice and George W. Bush nearly carried it in 2000. Never say never and look for a high third-party vote here this year.
Trump is within striking distance in this one.
Repost from yesterday
Results are based on landline and cellular telephone interviews with 609 randomly selected Maine adults and 475 randomly selected likely Maine voters.
So the folks were home when they called so that tells me “mainely” liberals because liberals don’t work they just collect checks.
maters if you saw it yesterday

Trump will be speaking in Bangor ME tomorrow.
Trump has a better chance in Maine than NH IMO.
Some weird state polling, Trump has some anemic plurality leads in GOP states, but same thing for Shillery in Maine? Having both major party nominees be despised could produce some anomalous results.
But the last time Maine gave a higher percentage to the Republican POTUS nominee than NH was in 1960. I doubt very much that changes this time, NH is just more Republican than Maine nowadays, by a good consistent margin.
Ralph Nader took almost 6% from Al Gore, allowing Bush to be come in a little more than 5% behind (but got a only a paltry 44%). Vote splitting on the left allowed Paul LePage to win in 2010.
We’ll have Jill Stein to thank if Trump gets any EVs from Maine, (1 of 4 or 3 of 4, I can’t imagine 4 of 4). Unfortunately we’ve also got Gary Johnson, whom I have to think will take more from Trump.
Maine has been shifting slowly Red, a republican took one of the two congressional seats. New Hampshire is going Blue faster than most think....I live in the region & can see the shift first hand. I did see where Trump was tied with Clinton several weeks ago, so who knows. I’ve lost faith in NH to be honest.
A lot of people are down on NH, especially residents. I’m hearing the same about VA. But treating either of them like they’re practically hopeless and doomed is very much an overreaction if you ask me.
I would point out NH gave Romney 46.4%, which was less than 1 point less than the 47.15% he got nationwide.
McCain got 44.52% in NH, to 45.60% nationwide.
So it trended ever so slightly in the right direction and remained only a little to the left of the nationwide average. A Republican victory of any significant size would very likely include it, I wouldn’t expect it to be more than a couple points less Republican than nation at large this time.
One thing though is that fewer people are spitting tickets, so even mild rat win for President have helped them win downballot in POTUS years. They’ve done particularity well winning gubernatorial elections lately, aside from one GOP win in 2002 they’ve had a chokehold on the office since Shaheen, I hope that changes this year.
Despite Maine electing a Republican Governor (with under 50%) and a Republican Congressman (with under 50%) and winning the State Senate in 2014 (and both houses in 2010) the performance at the POTUS level has been pretty stinky and a good 4-5 points worse than NH. It actually trended Obama in 2012 and NH trended Romney.
I do think the GOP has a good shot at governor this year in NH. The democrats run, like the GOP, against a state sales tax or income tax thus misting the differences between the 2 parties. If Ayotte can regain her base it might pull up the ticket, but the locals are not pleased with her.

Embattled Democrat Hillary Clinton spent $26 million on ads in battleground states in June.
Donald Trump spent $0 on ads in battleground states in June.
clinton spent 26 million
Donald Trump leads Hillary by 4 points in the latest Rasmussen poll released today.
Via Rasmussen:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 43% of the vote, while Clinton earns 39%. Twelve percent (12%) still like another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.
As Bill H. pointed out: Rasmussen is the only poll of “likely voters.” All others are “registered” voters. Historically Democrats dominate in ‘registered voters’ polls.

at 645 am, I was surfing the web, glanced to my right and there was a black bear about 10 feet away. On the other side of the window.
I didn’t try for a selfie. I guess I gotta get me some of that bear repellant to spray in the yard. Would an outhouse work?
Many others I know do the same and by and large we are working conservatives. So chances are that those who pick up a phone call from a stranger are usually shut-in welfare recipients or the elderly who don't know any better.
Maybe eat liberal amounts of asparagus and going out and spraying the yard ?
I saw a bear on the news walking upright, it looked like a guy in bear suit, creepy.
