POLL: Dem Candidate For Maine Gov. Leads TeaParty Incumbent By 7 Points

Last edited Wed Apr 9, 2014, 05:20 AM - Edit history (1)

True, polls don't mean a whole lot just yet, but for those interested in another GOOD NEWS poll, here is one.

PPP has a new one just out. Paul "LeRAGE" LePage, the TeaBagger nutjob who won in Maine in 2010 with 38% of the vote (multiple candidates, no run-off law) is now running at 37% (he does hold his base), and Mike Michaud the Dem challenger is at 44%. The running-again Indy Elliot Cutler is at 14%.

LePage can only win if Cutler splits too much of the vote. But I don't think that'll happen. Michaud is well liked, and people want
LePage out so badly that they will go with who has the best shot at beating him.

LePage is a TeaBagger nutjob who must GO. His list of nuttery is beyond the pale.
