Collins Leads Jackson in New Maine PollCollins Leads Jackson in New Maine Poll

A co/efficient poll found Republican incumbent Susan Collins leading Democrat Troy Jackson 48% to 46% among likely Maine voters, a gap within the poll’s margin of error. Other recent surveys have also shown a close contest, including an AARP poll that gave Jackson a narrow lead. The campaigns are also contending over allegations that Collins helped direct federal funding to a campaign contributor; Collins denies wrongdoing, and an FBI spokesperson said an earlier investigation found nothing implicating her.
