First time I ever heard of Pan Atlantic Research. Do we know much about their history overall or who sponsored or commissioned this poll? The numbers seem like a complete contradiction to earlier polls showing Harris leading in ME 2. Luckily for Golden, Maine has ranked choice voting, so even if these results are accurate, he could still win in the later rounds of voting.
It's interesting that the poll notes among the 9% of undecideds, they're more likely to be younger and registered independents or Democrats. Golden has antagonized many more left leaning voters and groups in the past but his defeatist remark about accepting a Trump victory vs Biden was quite vitriolic for many on the left. It's gonna be interesting to see if Golden can reconcile with his more left leaning constituents and pull off a victory. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets primaried by a more left leaning Democrat should he survive his next election.

How many candidates are there?? Just curious
I'm only seeing 2 candidates(ranked choice means nothing then)
No there appears to be a write-in candidate, Diana Merenda, tho she appears to have no disclosed nor reported funding.
It's run by someone named Jason Edes, who claims to have been in business for 39 years(frankly, I've never heard of him or his firm)
I’ve seen Maine polls from them in previous elections.

If such a Democrat were to win a primary, they'd lose the general election in a landslide.
