Looking at the polling, McGrath does have a chance: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/201...entucky/6/
Here in Maine, there isn't much on the ballot here in district 1 that matters, other than trying to get enough votes out for the Democrat for Governor that hopefully we actually win this time. That's big, but for both Governor and US House, the real fights are up in District 2, which has gone way far right over the course of this decade. From what polling there is, which isn't much, that trend looks likely to continue, but the Democrat for the House seat there, Jared Golden, does have a chance at unseating Poliquin... here's hoping.
We kind of win regardless, though, because finally Paul LePage won't be Governor! I;m sure Shawn Moody, the Republican, would also be awful, but at least in temperament he's no LePage or Trump-style person. I'm looking forward to it. Having an actual Democrat would be better, though... but it'll be a close race.
