Presidential intrigue in ME is in the 2nd Congressional District- Obama up 51/46 there, close than MI or MN: publicpolicypolling.com/main/2012/11/o…

PublicPolicyPolling (@ppppolls) November 02, 2012Maine is one of two states that allocates some of its electoral votes by congressional district. (Nebraska is the other.)
Polls indicate that Romney will lose Maine as a whole, but the state’s second congressional district has a significant GOP presence. Whoever wins that district gets one electoral vote.
If liberal-leaning PPP says Obama is up by only 5 points, the district is possibly in play.
Pro-Romney ads have been running there:
