The 52nd Pan Atlantic SMS Group Omnibus Poll
• The 52nd Pan Atlantic SMS Group Omnibus Poll was conducted between November 25th and November 30th,
2013. This independent survey data is being released to the Maine media in the public interest.
• A randomly selected, stratified statewide sample of 400 Maine residents was interviewed by telephone. Each of
Maine’s two Congressional Districts are represented by approximately half of the sample.
• To ensure a highly representative sample, a 20% cell phone sample was used.
• The survey was administered only to those who fulfilled the following criteria:
Are ages 18 and older
Do not, nor does anyone in their household, work for a market research, advertising or media firm
Are registered to vote in Maine and who said they are likely to vote in the November, 2014 elections.
• This independent poll was conducted by telephone, at our in-house interviewing center, by Pan Atlantic’s team of
experienced interviewers. No outside interviewer sources were used. The sample used comprised a mix of land
and cell phones, and responses were weighted according to respondent age to better represent Maine’s age
segment distribution.

• It should be noted that figures may not always equal 100.0 percent due to the rounding of decimals.
• The sample was stratified statewide based on the 2012 U.S. Census of Population and Housing data. The
sample size has statistical significance of ± 4.9 percent at the 95 percent confidence level. This means that
if the survey were to be repeated, 95 times out of 100 the results would reflect the results of this survey
within the ± 4.9 percent margin of error.
• The results are broken out by various demographic subsamples, including Congressional District, political
party affiliation, age, and gender. The margins of error for each of the two CDs is ± 6.98 percent at the
95 percent confidence level.
• Finally, we note that as with all surveys, these results are indicative of public opinion at a singular point in
time.

Gov. Paul LePage appears to be the most polarizing figure of the three
candidates in the gubernatorial election – 52.5% would not consider voting

Recently, Congressman Mike Michaud, who is running for Governor, came out as a gay man. In selecting your choice of candidate for Governor in the 2014 elections, will his sexual orientation factor into your decision in a positive way, negative way, or does it not matter?
The vast majority of respondents indicate that Mike Michaud’s recent announcement
regarding his sexual orientation will not influence their vote in the 2014 gubernatorial
elections – only 9.3% said it would influence them in a negative way.
Positive way, 3.9%
Negative

20.6% of Republicans and 13.6% of
respondents of French or French-

their decision in an negative way.
Respondents from Congressional
District 2 are more likely to view
Rep. Michaud’s announcement as a

of respondents in District 1.
25
Two-thirds (67.9%) of Michaud and Cutler supporters (combined)
would consider voting for a second-choice candidate in order to defeat
Gov. Paul LePage.
Let’s assume that as Election Day, 2014 approaches, your preferred candidate for governor is polling significantly behind the other two major candidates. In those circumstances, would you consider voting for your second choice candidate in order to increase the likelihood of defeating Governor Paul LePage? (Question asked only of Cutler and Michaud voters/leaners.)

Would you support or oppose authorizing this kind of provider?

Currently, state regulations prohibit dentists from hiring providers similar to a physician’s assistant or a nurse practitioner. Some dentists don’t want to lift these regulations because they feel that it would hurt their business. Other dentists think doing so will allow them to treat more low-income patients. Do you oppose or support eliminating these government regulations, leaving it to individual dentists whether to hire this kind of provider?
Support for eliminating the government prohibition on mid-level dental providers is strong across all three political groups—Democrats 79.8%, Republicans 83.5%, and Independents 88.2%.
