Democrats have long hoped they will win back working-class voters who backed President Donald Trump in 2016 in the midterm elections with attacks on the GOP’s tax cut plan and support for repealing Obamacare. New polling, based on a case study in a key congressional district in Maine, appears to offer proof. They have spent the past 10 months on a sustained campaign against Poliquin in the Bangor media market, which includes half the district, and their polling shows real damage. At the beginning of the campaign, 28 percent of voters in the media market approved of Poliquin and 38 percent disapproved. By the end, his numbers were significantly weaker: Just 25 percent approved, and 45 percent disapproved.
