Failing that, I went to the other extreme and asked the question using the LLM that’s integrated into the Brave browser’s search screen. Their answer is copied below.

I also asked the Brave LLM, as well as the Perplexity LLM, a few question about whether polls provided detailed descriptions of the groups supporting Platner. The answers were too long to copy here. If anyone’s curious, I’ll leave you to it.

Has anyone polled Maine adults on antisemitic beliefs or attitudes?

Yes, Maine adults have been included in national polls on antisemitic attitudes, and specific political polling within Maine has examined voter support for candidates linked to antisemitism. While no search result describes a standalone survey exclusively measuring antisemitic beliefs among a representative sample of only Maine adults, the state’s data is captured in broader studies and local political analyses.

National Surveys Including Maine. Major organizations like the ADL and NORC at the University of Chicago conduct nationally representative surveys that include Maine residents. The ADL’s 2024 and 2022 reports, which gauge belief in anti-Jewish tropes among over 4,000 U.S. adults, inherently sample Mainers as part of the general population. Additionally, data on antisemitic incidents in Maine is tracked, showing a rate of 3.63 incidents per 100,000 residents between 2022 and 2024.

Political Polling on Antisemitism in Maine. Specific polling has addressed antisemitism indirectly by measuring voter sentiment toward candidates with controversial records. A University of New Hampshire poll conducted for a Maine Senate race found that Gen Z Democrats supported candidate Graham Platner, who faced controversy over a past Nazi-associated tattoo, by an 84-11% margin over Governor Janet Mills. This polling highlighted a generational divide, with older voters largely rejecting the candidate, suggesting shifting tolerances for antisemitic symbols among younger Mainers.

Legislative and Community Context. Testimony before the Maine Legislature has cited an alarming rise in antisemitic incidents within the state, including threats and harassment, prompting proposals like LD 1351 to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism. Local leaders in Southern Maine also actively document incidents, ranging from white nationalist flyers to death threats against Jewish organizations, confirming that antisemitism is a monitored issue within the state’s communities.

Won’t bother him a bit. Here’s what he said the first week he announced:

Nothing pisses me off more than getting a fundraising text from Democrats talking about how they’re fighting fascism… Because it’s such bullshit. We’re not idiots. Everyone knows most of them aren’t doing jack shit right now to fight back.

He is associated with the SDA, so I would put him in with AOC and Mamdani. He isn’t a loner, grass roots guy, he is part of a larger organization which sees its way to power through taking over the Democratic Party. It is probably a case of follow the money. None of the DSA people that I know of could be described as poor, or working class, and Platner is no exception.

We all know that the Dems are having a lot of trouble with male voters. Jesse Ventura was something of a smash hit among young male voters, and possibly the Dem leaders see an element of that in Platner. However, young male voters now are a different generation than during Ventura’s day.

We’ve progressed from yellow dog Dems, to blue dog Dems (actually rather sensible and slightly conservative, and now totally dead & gone), to what? Shall we call them purple dog Dems? People who will vote for any weird insanity in order to promote or maintain Dem power.

I was wrong. Not totally dead. But down from 54 members to only 10.

How do you know this? Because media’s telling you? This guy is astroturf. He started getting puff pieces in national and international media the very week he announced he was running. MSNBC, Guardian, Mother Jones, Politico, NYT, The New Republic, all on the same page about the scrappy oyster farmer who wants to make a difference.

That means the stories were set up and distributed to these media outlets well before he announced. Why would they would they give a crap about obscure candidates in Maine? Why don’t they have the same thing for obscure Senate candidates in all 33 Senate races?
