The Maine polling preview from Pubic Policy Polling talked about polling data that will be released on Thursday. PPP looked at the 2010 Maine Gubernatorial race. Tom Jensen wrote, “With a huge number of candidates we just had to pick a couple Democrats and Republicans to test to get a general idea of the lay of the land and none of the match ups we looked at showed anyone getting better than 34%.”
Cough-Cough Peter Vigue.
This shows a great opportunity for an independent/third party candidate to get involved. Either the candidates selected in this poll have very low name value or are not liked. Either way a strong Independent candidate could make waves. Peter Vigue, a construction executive, is thinking about running in the Maine Gubernatorial race.
We know Maine has a history of voting independent candidates for Governor. See: Two-term Governor Angus King.

Lynne Williams is the Green Party candidate for governor in Maine. The Greens are fairly strong in Maine and have previously elected a State Rep and done well in gubernatorial campaigns.
