Maine Senate Race Tightens | Portland Maine News
Description
Maine’s political landscape is heating up with a razor-thin Senate race and a clear governor’s race. A new UNH poll shows Democrat Troy Jackson and Republican Susan Collins locked in a statistical dead heat, with Jackson leading by just three points — well within the margin of error — as his nomination still hinges on Saturday’s party convention. Collins, seeking her sixth term, enjoys praise for bringing federal funds but faces criticism over her votes. Meanwhile, Governor’s race looks settled: Democrat Hannah Pingree leads Republican Bobby Charles by nearly 14 points, with independent Rick Bennett trailing. With over 1,200 voters surveyed, the Senate race remains a toss-up — and the governor’s race is headed for a decisive win.
