Platner, Collins neck and neck in Maine Senate race: Poll
The 608-voter survey found most Mainers favor Democratic control of Congress and view the economy as the top issue.
- On Monday, a New York Times/Portland Press Herald/Siena poll showed Democratic newcomer Graham Platner leading incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins 49% to 47% in Maine's pivotal U.S. Senate race.
- With Democrats needing to flip four seats for Senate control, Maine represents a critical pickup opportunity, as voters rank party control of Congress among their top concerns.
- Survey data reveals a sharp demographic divide; Platner holds a 66% to 32% advantage among college-educated respondents, while Collins leads 58% to 37% among those without a degree.
- Voters cite different motivations; 93% of Platner supporters prioritize his policy positions, while 70% of Collins voters emphasize issues, even as 76% report hearing about Platner's controversial personal history.
- The survey of 608 likely voters, conducted June 19-26 with a 4.8% margin of error, indicates a dead heat four months before the general election in this closely watched contest.
