A new survey shows strong support in Maine for limiting contributions to political action committees – or PACS.
The latest Pan Atlantic Research Omnibus Poll shows nearly 70 percent support for setting a $5,000 limit on donations to PACs that spend money independently to support or defeat candidates for office.
The issue will be on the ballot in Maine in the November election.
The limit would only apply to PACs that make contributions to races involving candidates.
People and corporations would still be able to donate unlimited amounts of money to ballot and political party committees.
Broken down, the poll shows:
— A majority of respondents (69%) indicated
that they intend to vote Yes on this
question.
— 15% of respondents indicated that they
intend to vote No, while 16% are
Undecided on this question.
— 78% of Democrats and 78% of
Independents indicated support for this
question while 57% of Republicans did so.
