| Description | "Pressure from her home state’s voters and from the U.S. Senate’s Democratic leadership if their ranks are thinned following November’s expected Republican tide could push Maine Senator Olympia Snowe to change parties.
Snowe has a decent 50-40 job approval rating, better than her doppelganger Susan Collins’ tepid 45-43. Likely because of their moderate, maverick reputations, both are viewed far better by Democrats and independents than by their fellow Republicans, particularly Snowe. Democrats love Snowe, 59-29, as do independents, 52-39.
Overall, 42% of Maine voters think Snowe fits best in the Democratic Party, more than the 37% who think she is comfortable in the GOP. Almost as many Democrats, 36%, think she would be more at home with them as the 37% of Republicans who welcome her and as the 40% of Democrats who think she should stay right where she is. Independents see her slightly more as a Democrat, 38-34. But the real story is that exactly half of Republicans want to exile Snowe to the opposite party." |
