NEW POLL: Maine Senate Race in Dead Heat

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins is trailing her opponent in a new poll—but by an encouragingly slim margin. Democrats need to net four additional seats in order to gain control of the Senate.

On Monday, the New York Times released a poll alongside the Portland Press Herald and Siena in which Democrat Senate nominee Graham Platner leads Collins 49% to 47% among likely voters.

This lead is well within the survey’s 4.8 percent margin of error. The poll was conducted June 19 to 26.

It bears noting that these numbers are some of the best Collins has had in years.

In her 2020 campaign, she trailed her Democrat opponent in every single public poll, and by double digits in some polls. She ultimately won the race by over eight points.
