Press Herald - Nearly all Republicans surveyed last week — 96% — said they approve of the president, while only 1% of Democrats and 39% of independents agree, according to a survey by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.
The intensity of voter polarization in Maine has held steady through the first three months of the Trump administration, despite a frenetic pace of legal clashes over executive orders and funding cuts, historic tariffs and trade disputes, falling markets and economic uncertainty.
Republicans continue to strongly support the president’s action, including his handling of the economy and immigration.
In March, the center’s monthly survey found that 94% of Maine Republicans approved of Trump’s performance in office, a slight drop from 98% of Republican support in February. Less than half of all Maine residents surveyed, 42%, and just 1% of Democrats felt the same.
Overall, most Mainers disapprove of the president’s job performance so far. Only 42% of those surveyed approve, while 57% disapprove and 1% aren’t sure, the survey found.
