Older Mainers leaning toward Susan Collins in US Senate race, AARP poll shows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new battleground poll released by the AARP shows Democrat Troy Jackson with a narrow lead over Republican Susan Collins in Maine’s U.S. Senate race. Jackson holds a 3 percentage point lead over Collins, 50% to 47%, which is within the survey’s margin of error of 3.1%.

Read excerpt
A new poll conducted by the New York Times, Portland Press Herald and Siena Research Institute highlights Maine’s finicky electorate.

Susan Collins sent back to Washington. The poll has a margin of error of 4.9% to 5.4%. Here are five major takeaways from the survey, which found a close race between Col
