AARP Poll Puts Jackson Ahead of Collins…AARP Poll Puts Jackson Ahead of Collins in Maine

An AARP poll of likely Maine voters puts Democrat Troy Jackson ahead of Republican Sen. Susan Collins, 50% to 47%, a margin within the poll’s 3.1-point sampling error. Results show a sharp age divide, while Collins’s support among older swing voters and uncertainty about younger-voter turnout complicate the picture. Affordability, including electricity, Social Security and health care costs, ranks prominently among voters’ concerns.
