Inside the numbers:
Perhaps most important for Obama, the president is holding his lead among Maine women, 54 percent to 39 percent, the poll shows. That outweighs Romney's lead among men, 46 percent to 44 percent.
Even in the 2nd Congressional District, where Republicans hope to peel off one of Maine's four electoral votes, Obama appears to have a solid 7-point lead, the poll suggests.

Inside the numbers:
Even as voters remain worried about the weak economy and lack of jobs, Obama's favorability rating rose from 48 percent in June to 52 percent this month, according to the poll.
Unlike in the country as a whole, Obama is more popular here with higher-income voters and Romney's strongest support is among lower-income Mainers. Obama has a 13-point lead among voters earning $100,000 a year or more, but only a 7-point lead among voters with household incomes less than $50,000.
