ME-Sen Collins Leads 52% to 35% Over Gideon

[Zaybay]

Awful numbers for Collins this far out.

A 17 point margin is “awful”?

Yes. Its over a year and a 1/2 out and all she can muster as a "popular incumbent" is 52% against a candidate that literally only has 30% name rec?

With the Kavanaugh scandal in the news again Collins is bound to take a hit from that since she was the person who stood up most for him and gave a speech lecturing everyone about how good he is. Tick tock, Miss Perfect.

Just like how it was going to destroy her a year ago, right?

I mean, her approvals certainly have tanked from their previous highs. Her approval in the poll is only +8, a large drop from someone considered "One of the most popular Senators in America".

You can't really destroy an elected official until the actual election and that campaign really hasn't even started yet. Besides, there are other pro-Trump votes she took that can easily be used against her.

That's still goalpost moving. If I recall, the thread from a year ago was titled "Did Susan Collins just announce her retirement?", which many Atlas D hacks concurred with and I was raked over the coals for arguing was stupid.

Right, because thats exactly what I was referring to when I said that her approvals have dropped since her Kavanaugh decision. I was clearly referring to a thread made a year ago that no one has named at all in this conversation but you.

Yeah, looking at the rest of the polls that were just released, my faith in the accuracy of this poll has been a bit shaken.
