Some Maine Polling [View all]

Now I know this is the New York Times which, should we disagree with its findings, we can discount as something other than the journal of record.

But it seems to me that the top line is Platner +66% (76% Platner to 10% Mills).

That is a spicy meatball.

It is almost like the citizens of Maine are making clear what they want.

You can look to the general election head to heads and see that Platner outperforms Mills.

But you knew all this already... otherwise, why'd you be reading my thread?
