New Pan Atlantic poll shows Cutler’s support shifting to Michaud

A new poll in the gubernatorial race by Pan Atlantic SMS, a firm whose polls have shown stronger support for independent Eliot Cutler than most other surveys, shows Cutler about 7 percentage points down from where he was last month and most of that lost support contributing to a boost for Democratic nominee Mike Michaud.

The Cutler campaign dismissed the idea that his support is shifting to Michaud. “That is the Democrats’ narrative because their candidate has failed to get the job done against Paul LePage,” said Cutler Campaign Manager Ted O’Meara in a written statement Tuesday morning.

Including leaners, the survey of 400 Maine residents between Oct. 15 and 21 shows Republican incumbent Paul LePage with 40.3 percent support, Michaud with 39.7 percent and Cutler with 12.7 percent.

A poll conducted by Pan Atlantic in September had LePage at 39.3 percent, Michaud at 33.6 percent and Cutler at 19.5 percent. The number of survey respondents who said they were undecided was about 7.4 percent, which is about the same as the poll found last month.

1. Given that my parents live in Maine, and I will be spending about 6 weeks up there this winter

I really do hope that asshat LePage gets voted out of office.

2. I hope LePage's ham-handed treatment of Kaci Hickox hurts him.
