Quite the UNH poll of Maine:
Governor Janet Mills' favorability is 51/41
Senator Susan Collins' is ... 14/57.
Among independents, Collins' favorability is a startling 8/60.

2. Christian Nationalism;
3. Republican xenophobia and their ICE Gestapo;
4. MAGA’s islamophobia; and
5. Politicians who talk about culture wars instead of the issues that affect ordinary people.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.
