Poll results

For the country and for Maine, November's general election is bound to be one of the most consequential ever. And amid heated races at the national, state and local levels, politics are on everyone's minds.

Some businesses embrace the political season, and endorse candidates or take a stand on an issue going to voters. Other businesses (including Mainebiz) are nonpartisan. But regardless of the outcomes Nov. 3, many businesses wonder if the run-up to the election will distract Mainers or divert resources from the daunting challenges of economic recovery and coping with the pandemic.

In general, is this year's election a hindrance to the Maine business community?
Yes, this year's politics are causing too much division and using too many resources when we can't afford that (61%, 45 VOTES)
No, the 2020 election season is creating business and is a chance for companies to engage with the public (39%, 29 VOTES)

    I don't know one business that is losing or spending money on this years Presidential election. And if our Reps in Washington DC can't walk and chew gum at the same time then we need to vote them out!

    Businesses should stay out of politics, since what we need is to support each other in our communities. I will help my neighbor no matter what their political belief is, but I will stay away from them if they want to talk politics.
