Maine Poll Gives Susan Collins Lead Over Troy Jackson for First Time
The lead is within the margin of error, and 5% of voters remain undecided as crossover support helps Collins hold an edge.
- A New York Times/Portland Press Herald/Siena poll conducted Sept. 15-22 shows Republican Sen. Susan Collins leading Democrat Troy Jackson 49% to 46% in Maine's U.S. Senate race.
- Collins' improved position comes as Maine voters are increasingly souring on President Donald Trump, with 66% of respondents disapproving of his job performance compared to only 32% who support him.
- Respondents expressed clear confidence in the incumbent, with 54% viewing Collins as an effective senator and 59% trusting her to bring resources to Maine, compared to lower marks for Jackson.
- Although 55% of respondents hope for Democratic control of the Senate, the race remains a toss-up, with the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball rating the contest as highly competitive.
- The small pool of undecided voters, which rose to 5% in September, could tilt the race in either direction as the election nears.
