A new poll shows President Barack Obama besting presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney in Maine.
In the statewide survey, which was conducted earlier this month by the Maine-based polling firm Critical Insights, the president leads Romney 50 percent to 42 percent.
The poll is notable in that the former Massachusetts governor actually has a stronger favorability rating than Obama, breaking a long-running trend throughout the campaign. Romney is viewed favorably by 51 percent of Maine voters, compared to 47 percent who have a favorable view of Obama.
