Republican gubernatorial candidate Paul LePage is leading the race with 43% of the public’s support, according to a poll released yesterday.
The Waterville mayor and Marden’s general manager came out on top in the poll by Raleigh, N.C.-based Public Policy Polling, which surveyed 1,468 likely Maine voters earlier this month, according to the Kennebec Journal. Democratic candidate and Senate President Libby Mitchell garnered 29%, Independent Eliot Cutler won 11%, Independent Shawn Moody received 5% and Independent Kevin Scott earned 1%. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.
In August, a poll released by a different firm, Rasmussen Reports, showed LePage with 38% of the public’s support, according to the paper.
