🚨 NEW POLL: Matt Dunlap is a serious threat to Jared Golden

A new poll confirms that State Auditor Matt Dunlap is a serious threat to serial flip-flopper Jared Golden in a primary.

According to the poll, 76% of voters do NOT think Golden is doing enough to stand up to Trump, his image is badly underwater at just 46%, and Dunlap trails him by only 2 points in a head to head matchup, with 25% of voters still undecided.  

These numbers come after two general election polls show Golden trailing Republican Paul LePage.

“The poll numbers continue to paint an unmistakable picture: Serial flip-flopper Jared Golden is wildly unpopular among Democrats and Republicans. Voters are fed up, and Golden should spend the long weekend updating his resume.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

August 28, 2025

Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) faces the challenges of his political career from both his right and his left.

The fourth-term congressman expects to face Republicans’ dream recruit in former two-term governor Paul LePage in 2026, perhaps the greatest threat thus far to his congressional career. But first, he must survive a possible threat just as great from his own party.

But the new poll of likely Democrat voters obtained by Breitbart News reveals the degree of Golden’s vulnerability, showing Golden’s image has taken on water, and voters are open to a new Democrat to represent them in Maine, specifically Matt Dunlap.

The main takeaways, according to the memo:

• Democratic primary voters are overwhelmingly frustrated with Golden for not standing up to Trump and MAGA Republicans, with 76% reporting that Golden is not doing enough.
• Golden’s image is well under 50% and only +4 overall, sitting at 46% favorable and 42% unfavorable. Meanwhile, State Auditor Matt Dunlap is +20, at 31% favorable and 11% unfavorable.
• Voters’ frustrations with Golden are evident on the Democratic primary ballot, as the four-term incumbent leads by an incredibly slim margin of 39% to 37%, with 25% of voters still undecided.

The polling memo concludes Golden’s years of flip-flopping on topics ranging from woke gender ideology to immigration policies and gun rights has damaged Golden’s image with the Democratic base, and Dunlap possesses a clear path to victory.
