Former Democratic Representative Mike Michaud blamed out-of-touch liberals for the wavering support.
A historically Democratic East Coast state is seeing a huge swing to the right with a growing number of its cities turning Republican.
Maine's staunchly blue base appears to be under threat as hundreds of towns and cities have flipped over the last five years.
This includes liberal hubs like Portland, which joins a list of 188 cities and 420 towns which have shifted to the right, the Bangor Daily News reported.
By comparison, only 51 towns of 1,000 voters or more boosted their support for the Democrats.
Voter registration among the party also declined across the state by six percent, compared to a seven percent surge for the Republican party.
Independent voters declined three percent, while overall registrations dropped 1.6 percent, the outlet said.
The grass root nature of the turnaround is not looking good for the dems.
I guess more "free stuff" needs to be proposed by the dems there.
