Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : It's a presidential election year, and the presence of Trump on the ticket will likely help Theriault, who has received Trump's "full-throated endorsement," said Brewer.Theriault, a former NASCAR driver, is also younger, more energetic, and more likeable than Golden's past challengers, the professors said.
46% : In 2020, Golden won re-election with Trump on the ballot.
44% : He's one of just five Democrats in Congress who represent districts Trump won in 2020.
44% : Flip-flopping on the biggest issues facing Mainers like our lobstermen, spending, inflation, the border, the Second Amendment, voter ID, and support for the Biden/Harris ticket, Golden has become a Washington politician who puts his party bosses ahead of his constituents," Theriault said in a statement.
39% : The state's more northern, rural, and conservative-leaning district, (it voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020), gave the former president his only Electoral College vote in New England.
