Portland Press Herald Poll: HRC opens double digit lead in Maine (leads in 2nd district as well)

Hillary Clinton has opened up a bigger lead over Donald Trump among Maine voters and has overtaken him even in Maine’s rural and conservative 2nd Congressional District, according to a new Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram poll.

The poll found that Clinton has opened up a double-digit lead statewide in the race for president, with 48 percent of respondents saying they will vote for the Democratic former secretary of state and 37 percent saying the Republican billionaire

The results also suggest Clinton has surged in the 2nd District, where Trump previously led by double digits. The latest results show Clinton ahead in that district by 43 percent to Trump’s 40 percent. Clinton’s lead is within the poll’s margin of error, but her campaign appears to have made up significant ground since late September, when Trump was leading Clinton in the 2nd District by 15 points.
