Oops: Democrats Who Supported the Nazi Guy In the Maine Senate Race Will Hate This New Poll

The Maine Senate race has moved from an early Democratic advantage to a statistical tie. Platner led Collins by 7 points in our March survey, but now leads by just 1. Collins remains deeply underwater, yet she is running ahead of the Republican brand in a state where Democrats lead the generic ballot by 10. Platner’s standing has softened amid recent controversies, and the race remains highly competitive and unsettled.

Note that Platner, leading Collins 46-45 percent, is polling worse in the state than a generic Democrat candidate. Ouch. Guess enough Mainers do care about support for Hitler’s Third Reich.
