A new poll shows Senator Susan Collins leading Democrat Troy Jackson in Maine’s Senate race.
The survey comes from a New York Times/Siena College poll of likely voters in the battleground state.
Collins, the Republican incumbent, holds an advantage across several key issues important to Maine voters.
The poll indicates she is favored on matters such as the economy, public safety, and handling of local concerns.
Jackson, a Democrat, remains competitive but trails in areas that often decide statewide elections.
Maine is one of a few states expected to determine control of the U.S. Senate in the midterms.
The findings suggest Collins retains strong support among independents and moderate voters.
Jackson’s campaign has focused on economic fairness and rural communities across the state.
The poll also shows many voters remain undecided or open to changing their minds before November.
Both campaigns are expected to intensify spending and outreach in the coming weeks.
Maine’s Senate race continues to draw national attention as a key midterm contest.
