(CNN) Maine is one of two Northeastern states Donald Trump nearly won in 2016 and now he's the most unpopular politician listed there in a Suffolk University poll released Wednesday.

The poll also shows a tight race for Maine governor between the Democrat and Republican after notable Trump supporter Gov. Paul LePage is termed out of office.

That doesn't mean Republicans will be out of luck there. Republican candidate and businessman Shawn Moody, who has cast himself in political outsider brand of the more brash and outspoken Trump and LePage, is competing against Democratic Attorney General Janet Mills, and two independent candidates -- Alan Caron and Terry Hayes. The Suffolk poll shows the two main candidates receiving 39% support each, with Caron and Hayes at 3% and 4%, respectively.
