Brewer speaks to PPH about top voter concerns this election
Mark Brewer, professor of political science at the University of Maine, spoke to the Portland Press Herald in response to a poll about the top concerns for Maine voters this election season. Access to abortion, which has been a major focus of Democrats’ campaign, was only named by 16% of respondents as one of the most important issues. “When Roe was overturned, it kind of threw a bunch of things into flux and abortion kind of sucked up all of the energy in the room and that gave a lot of Democrats some hope. But once we have gotten further away from that, the things that were concerning voters before Roe was overturned seems to have pushed their way back to the top of the list,” Brewer said. Yahoo News, Maine Monitor and CentralMaine.com shared the PPH report.
