OF THE PRESS RELEASE
King tops three-way ME-Sen. race, Pingree leads two-ways

Raleigh, N.C. Olympia Snowes decision to retire rather than seek another term in the
Senate jolted the political world last week and gave Democrats a huge opportunity to pick
up a seat and possibly even retain control of the Senate. In PPPs first look at the now
open seat, Rep. Chellie Pingree looks to be an early favorite, both in the potential
Democratic primary and in the general election, should she jump into the race. But
popular former independent Gov. Angus King would narrowly lead a three-way contest
and potentially complicate Democrats plans.
Pingree tops former Gov. John Baldacci and former Secretary of State Matt Dunlap in a
three-way primary, 52-28-11. Baldacci leads the six GOP hopefuls tested by an average
of about eight points, but Pingree leads the same candidates by an average of about 16
points. That is because Pingree is better liked personally. 47% see her favorably and
41% unfavorably, 21 points better on the margin than Baldaccis 37-52.
Pingree would still easily win, 49-33-9, over Charlie Summers and independent former
Tea Party Republican Andrew Ian Dodge. But King leads 36-31-28 over Pingree and
Summers because he pulls 35% of Democrats and 53% of independents but only 25% of
Republicans. Against just Summers, Pingree leads 53-37, locking up 85% of Democrats,
51% of independents, and 12% of Republicans, but that slips to only 56%, 25%, and 5%
with King in the mix. King is by far the most popular of the 11 candidates tested, with a
62-24 favorability margin, but his challenge will be keeping that Democratic support. If
he were to win, 51% of his supporters would want him to caucus with the Democrats and
only 25% with the Republicans. That includes a 40-27 margin with his independent
supporters and 79-6 with Democrats. He may have to pledge to align himself with Harry
Reid and company if he wants to hold onto his slim advantage.
Angus King and Chellie Pingree look like the early favorites in Maine, said Dean
Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. King will have a hard time holding onto his
early Democratic support without a pledge to caucus with the party if hes elected to the
Senate.
PPP surveyed 1,256 Maine voters, including 550 usual Democratic primary voters and
369 usual Republican primary voters, from March 2nd to 4th. The margin of error is +/2.8% for the entire survey, +/-4.2% for the Democratic sample, and +/-5.1% for the
Republican sample. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political
organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews.
