The economy has replaced the pandemic as the top concern of Maine voters, with more than half of those surveyed believing it is going to get worse before it gets better, according to a twice-a-year poll of state voters released Monday by Critical Insights. When asked the most important issue facing Mainers today, 41% of the 622 Maine voters surveyed by Digital Research Inc. of Portland in March and April cited the economy. Only 8% of Maine voters named the environment and climate change as their chief concern.
