Vice President Kamala Harris has opened an 8-point lead over former President Donald Trump in Maine, the latest Pine Street State poll released Friday showed.

The online survey of 1,502 adults, most of whom were likely voters, was conducted by The New Hampshire University Survey Center from July 24-25. It showed that 48% favored Harris, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, and 40% favored Trump, the Republican nominee. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points.

Unlike all other states except Nebraska, Maine awards two electoral votes based on the statewide vote and one for each of its two congressional districts. George H.W. Bush in 1988 was the last Republican to win all four Maine electoral votes and the last to win Maine’s 1st Congressional District. Trump won the 2nd Congressional District, which is mostly central and northern Maine, in 2016 and 2020.
