Background & Methodology
• Each Spring and Fall, Critical Insights conducts the Critical Insights on MaineTM
Tracking Survey, a comprehensive, statewide public opinion survey of registered
voters which covers a variety of topics of interest to business, government, and the
general public.
– In addition to general interest items – the results of which are released to the media as a
public service – the survey also includes a number of proprietary items included in the poll on
behalf of sponsoring entities, with results of those items released only to those sponsors.
• For the current wave of the study, Critical Insights completed a total of 600 telephone
interviews with randomly selected voters across the state between October 13-17,
2010.
– With a sample of 600 interviews, results presented here have an associated sampling error of
+/- 4.0 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
• It should be noted that estimates are less precise for voter intentions measured for the 1st and 2nd
Congressional districts; with sub-samples of approximately 300 voters in each district, these district-
level samples have an associated sampling error of +/- 5.7 percentage points at the 95% confidence
level
– All interviews were conducted with self-reported registered voters; final data was statistically
weighted according to relevant demographics to reflect the voter base in Maine.
– On average, the entire survey instrument – including both general interest items and all
subscriber questions – was 15 minutes in administrative length.
• This document presents results of general interest questions which Critical Insights
makes public to the media.
– Where appropriate, comparisons of current results are made with findings from past iterations
of the Critical Insights on MaineTM Tracking Survey.

Perspectives on Issues Facing the State of Maine
• Similar to results observed six months ago in the most recent iteration of the
Critical Insights on MaineTM Tracking Survey, residents continue to be concerned
about the economy, as fully one-third cited this as the most important issue facing
Maine – the same proportion as was noted in both the Spring 2010 and Fall 2009
surveys.
– However, despite continuing concerns, unprompted mentions regarding the economy
stand at about half the frequency noted in the Fall of 2008, when economic concerns hit
a 10-year high of 59% for the Critical Insights on MaineTM Tracking Survey.
– Specific concerns about unemployment, which was noted by only 11% of Maine
residents 12 months ago, rose to second place in the Spring (27%) and Fall (30%) 2010
assessments.
• Interestingly, while broad concerns about the economy are higher among more well-educated
Mainers, those with only a high school diploma or some college are significantly more likely to
cite specific concerns about unemployment.
– Despite the attention given to health care at the national level, the issue seems to have
been trumped by the economy, with unprompted concerns about health care lagging in
terms of top-of-mind stated concerns at 5% currently (down from 17% in the Fall 2009
wave of the survey).
– Taxation and education round out the top five concerns mentioned by Mainers, with
results remaining generally consistent with results from recent waves of Critical
Insights on MaineTM.
• Education continues to be an issue among younger residents, while the issue of taxation remains
a key issue among residents in the southern part of Maine.

Perspectives on Near-Term Economic Concerns
• Consistent with broader concerns about employment as a general issue facing

Maine, when voters were asked to cite the specific economic concern that will be
causing them the most worry over the next six months, fully one-third of voters
(32%) noted the prospect of a job loss.
– Other chief financial concerns in the near term include the overall cost of living (20%)
and concerns about taxes (15%).
• Similarly, while one-third of voters noted the prospect of a job loss as their chief
financial concern, when residents were asked specifically to note their level of
concern over the next 12 months that they or someone else in the household might
be out of work, 31% claimed to be concerned.
– Concern was most acute among less highly-educated Mainers.

Maine Residents’ Views on the Economy
• Reversing a recent upward trend that was first noted in the Spring 2009 wave of
Critical Insights on MaineTM, only 1-in-5 residents feel that the economy is doing
better than it was 12 months ago, compared to the figure of 31% observed in the
Spring 2010 survey.
– The proportion of poll respondents saying the economy is “somewhat” or “much worse”
than it was a year ago also reverses the recent trend, with 38% stating that the economy
is worse, compared to 32% six months ago.
• GOP voters are more likely than those in other political parties to say the economy has gotten
worse.
– Still, it is worth noting that these results are substantially more positive than the results
observed in the spring and fall of 2008, during the nadir of residents’ perspectives on
the economy.
• Looking ahead to the coming year, about one-third of Mainers (35%) anticipate
things will improve – down from 43% in the most recent survey.
– While optimism has declined a bit, the proportion expecting things to be “worse” 12
months from now has remained stable over the past year.

Maine Residents’ Views on the Economy
• As was noted in the Spring ‘10 survey, current sentiments about the overall
status of the economy is generally consistent across subgroups of Maine
voters, with the exception that Democrats are more optimistic than are
Republicans.
– Nearly 1-in-5 (19%) self-described Republican respondents believe the economy is
“much worse” than 12 months ago; in contrast, about 3-in-10 (29%) Democrats feel
the economy is “somewhat better.”
– Looking ahead to the next year, Democrats are significantly more likely than either
Republicans or Independent voters are to say the economy will improve.
• Residents’ overall sense of economic pessimism is also reflected in their
estimates of the timing for economic recovery, with a strong majority (66%)
noting that they believe the recession will last at least two years.

Maine Residents’
Personal Household Financial Situation
• Despite the economic downturn and employment concerns, Maine residents’ ability
to save – a key indicator of personal and household financial health – seems to be
holding steady over the past year.
– While only a small bloc of residents (15%) are saving more than they did last year, the
proportion of residents saving less has dropped appreciably since 2008.
– Among different income brackets, lower- and middle-income households are finding it
harder to save than upper-income households. Nearly half (47%) of households making
under $75k say they are saving less than they did last year, compared to about 3-in-10
(28%) households making $75k or more.
• While personal savings results have remained fairly stable over the last 12 months,
Maine residents’ anticipated levels of holiday spending are estimated as less than
2009.
– Indeed, nearly half of the residents polled (48%) suggest that their holiday spending this
year will be less than in ’09; this is particularly true among lower income residents.
– Notably, very few residents (3%) claim that they will be spending more during the
upcoming holiday season.

Maine Residents’ Perspectives
on the Direction of the Nation
• Overall, Maine residents tend to be slightly less optimistic than the country as a
whole concerning the nation’s overall direction.
– Indeed, only about one-quarter of Maine residents (25%) say the country is headed in the
right direction, while 60% say the country is on the wrong track; by comparison, close to
half (47%) of US residents feel that the country is on the wrong track.
• Additionally, Maine residents are feeling less positive about the direction of the
nation today than they have in recent measurements.
– In the Spring 2009 Critical Insights on MaineTM survey, 59% of Maine residents felt the
country was going in the right direction; this figure experienced a decline to 47% in Fall
2009 and to just 25% currently.
• Both Democrats and Independents tend to have a more positive outlook regarding the nation’s
direction than do Republicans.
• While residents’ outlook on the direction of both Maine and the nation as a whole
continues to be less optimistic, the rates of optimism are similar for both Maine
and the U.S. in the most recent survey results; however, only about one-quarter of
residents feel that the state and nation are headed in the right direction.
– Maine residents today are less likely to say the state is headed in the right direction than
they were in Spring 2010.
– The proportion of residents who state that the nation is on the right track has dropped at a
substantially higher rate from the Spring 2009 survey (59%) to the current rate of 25%.

– Self-described Democrats and Independents in Maine hold a more favorable view than
do Republicans in terms of the President’s handling immigration.
• Fully half of Maine residents support providing a legal avenue for illegal
immigrants already in the US to become citizens, while about 4-in-10 are opposed
to this proposal with the remainder undecided.
– Support for this issue is highest among women and Democrats.

Perspectives on Notable Republican Politicians
• With an eye toward 2012, poll respondents were asked to indicate whether they
have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of several key Republican politicians
making news today and who have been mentioned as having national aspirations
for the Presidency in 2012.
• Notably, no single tested Republican politician garners a favorable rating among a
majority of Maine residents polled.
• Among specific names, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney garners the
largest bloc of favorable feedback among voters, but at just 38%; meanwhile,
Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich garner the highest unfavorable ratings (51% and
52%, respectively).
– Not surprisingly, favorability ratings tend to break along party lines, with Democrats
having significantly lower favorability ratings than Republicans or even Independents.
– More well-educated residents (i.e. those with a college degree) are more likely to have an
unfavorable view of the Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Christine O’Donnell and Mitt
Romney.
• Notably, even one-quarter of Republicans have an unfavorable opinion of Sarah Palin and Newt
Gingrich.
• It should be noted that substantial blocs of residents are unable to form an opinion
of the listed politicians, with Christine O’Donnell (49%), Jeb Bush (35%), Mitt
Romney (28%), Newt Gingrich (24%), and Sarah Palin (19%) each generating a
sizable number of “Don’t know” or “Not sure” responses.

in-10 Maine voters have approved of the Governor’s job performance over the past
eight years, while about half disapprove of the way he has handled his job.
