Normally I'd agree, but the demographics of Trump supporters do throw that off a bit. That is why Trump is running even or slightly ahead in Maine's third district, which Romney lost by 12 points.

EDIT: I should clarify that I'm not suggesting your explanation that we are seeing sampling error is wrong. That's absolutely possible too.
