[ccharles000]

State Senate Pres. Libby Mitchell's (D) camp released an internal poll today showing her with a 20% lead in the crowded Dem primary.

Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research conducted the poll from April 11-14, surveying 587 Dem primary LVs for a margin of error of +/- 4.0%. Mitchell was tested against a field consisting of ex-AG Steve Rowe, '90/'92 ME-02 nominee/ex-ME Dept. of Conservation Commis./ex-state Rep. Pat McGowan, ex-ME Econ./Commun. Dev. Commis./ex-state House Speaker John Richardson and businesswoman Rosa Scarcelli.

Primary Election Matchup
Mitchell 36%
Rowe 16
McGowan 13
Richardson 4
Scarcelli 3


Mitchell, who received the endorsement of Bill Clinton earlier this year, is part of a large field of candidates vying for the state's top job, in what appears to be a wide-open race. She is one of four candidates, including one GOPer, pursuing public financing under ME's Clean Election System.
