Poll Shows GOP's Theriault Narrowly Leading Incumbent Golden in Maine's 2nd District

The race remains tight as Republican Austin Theriault edges out Democratic Rep. Jared Golden in a new survey, with significant implications for national politics.

• A Pan Atlantic Research poll indicates Austin Theriault has 47% support compared to Jared Golden's 44%, within the margin of error.
• Golden, a centrist Democrat, has seen his lead erode since his significant polling advantage four years ago.
• Theriault's campaign emphasizes Golden's perceived disconnect with local Maine voters, criticizing him as a 'flip-flopping, D.C. politician.'
• Golden has notably broken with Democratic leadership on key votes and has not committed to supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.
• The poll also reveals that former President Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris 49-42 among voters in Maine's 2nd District.
