Abstract
President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has increased since May in Maine, fueled by increased approval among Republicans. A plurality of Mainers have a negative view of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) but a majority of Democrats in the state have a positive view. Three in eight Mainers have a positive view of socialism in general, including about half of those under the age of 50, while capitalism is far more popular among those aged 50 and older. Amid a Supreme Court decision upholding birthright citizenship, about half of Mainers oppose a proposed constitutional amendment to restrict birthright citizenship and legislation restricting the entry of pregnant foreign women into the United States.
