Platner and Collins locked in tight race for Senate seat, new poll shows
Maine voters want to see Democrats take control of the Senate — but are still wary of throwing their weight behind the scandal-ridden Graham Platner.
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/29/platner-collins-maine-senate-poll-00980057Graham Platner and Susan Collins are locked in a neck-and-neck battle for Maine’s Senate seat, a race that could determine which party takes control of the Senate.
In a New York Times/Press Herald/Siena Poll published Monday, 49 percent of likely Maine voters said they support Platner, the progressive newcomer. But that’s only a 2 point lead over Collins, an advantage too slight to reliably forecast the election outcome. The incumbent Republican trailed in major polls during her 2020 reelection bid before securing a decisive win over Democrat Sara Gideon.
By and large, the surveyed voters lean Democratic.(Not sure meaning here. Poll should mirror population so whether mean more than general population I don't know)
Over half voted for Kamala Harris in 2024; today, they overwhelmingly disapprove of President Donald Trump’s presidency, excoriating how he’s handled the economy, cost-of-living crisis, immigration and the Iran war. Come this fall, most voters prefer that Democrats take control of the Senate.
