Maine

Outlook: Solid Democratic

With a population of just over one million, the Pine Tree State has been traditionally Blue, not supporting a Republican presidential candidate since 1988. Interestingly, however, both of the state’s U.S. senators are currently Republican. Despite this, George W. Bush lost the state by a 9 percent margin in 2004, a fate Democrats wish on John McCain this November.
