Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Statewide, a mid-August poll showed that Harris was leading Trump 55% to 38%, while Harris was up 4 percentage points in the 2nd District, leading Trump 49% to 44%, according to a University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll released Aug. 21.
51% : Trump has built strong support in the 2nd District, but its sole electoral college vote could be in play once again now that Harris' nomination has energized Democrats.
50% : Brewer said Trump has taken a similar approach in the past by working with the RNC, state and local parties, and affiliated groups to help run his campaigns.
47% : Trump eventually made a total of five visits to Maine during the 2016 campaign, and the effort appeared to pay off.
47% : "While Trump didn't make as many stops in Maine in 2020 as in 2016, he did appear over the summer at a roundtable discussion with the fishing industry in Bangor and at a coronavirus swab manufacturer in Guilford.
42% : Time and resources are often spent in more competitive areas, and the electoral college vote had consistently been won by Democrats until Trump was able to peel off the northern Maine vote.
37% : "I'm sure the reason (Trump) hasn't been here so far is not because they think it's a foregone conclusion that they'll win," Shea said.
35% : Trump has generally campaigned less than he did in 2016 and 2020, political scientists said, and the contrast with his previous campaigns in Maine is striking.
33% : "There's no doubt there's been less focus on Maine from Trump and the Republicans than there was in 2016 and 2020," said Mark Brewer, a professor and chair of the political science department at the University of Maine.
26% : Both Shea and Brewer said that, in general, Trump has been traveling less this campaign cycle.
15% : Hillary Clinton came much less frequently than Trump in the 2016 election cycle.
12% : Trump defeated Clinton by about 10 percentage points in the 2nd District in 2016, and defeated Biden by about 7 percentage points in the 2nd District in 2020.
