The latest poll of Maines presidential election preferences found Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump in a dead heat in Maines 2nd Congressional District, a battleground thats gotten much more attention than usual this cycle.
The latest polling from the Maine Peoples Resource Center, an affiliate of the progressive Maine Peoples Alliance, found third-party candidates are having a strong influence in the race, where four-way polling put Clinton at 38.2 percent and Trump at 37 percent in the 2nd District.
About 10.5 percent of the 420 likely voters polled in CD2 were undecided.
In Maines 1st District, Clinton held a 10-point lead, with about 7 percent of the 469 likely voters in CD1 undecided.

Let's keep Maine's 2nd true blue.
