Well, this is going to be awfully concerning for Sen. Susan Collins. The Maine Republican is down by nearly double digits against her likely Democratic opponent in a new poll out of Maine. In this poll—which is from an apparently new pollster, Victory Geek—Collins trails Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon by nine points, 51-42.
The Maine primary has been postponed from June to July 14 because of the coronavirus epidemic. The frontrunner in the Democratic primary is Gideon, but respondents to this poll will vote for whichever Democrat wins against Collins in the general, 49-39. This poll is somewhat of an outlier, but there hasn't been polling in the state since the first week of March when PPP found Gideon up 47-43. A lot has happened since March 5, like more than 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus nationwide and a negligent federal government response. Collins in particular remains pretty darned unpopular in this poll, with 52% having an unfavorable opinion of her: 36% say very unfavorable. What's more, 79% of voters say they've made up their minds. Yes, she's going to be very concerned.
Let's make sure her time is up. Please give $1 to help Democrats in each of these crucial Senate races, but especially the one in Maine!
