Maine has soured on the Republican senator as she's gotten closer to Trump, and she's looking to blame anyone but herself.
Maine voters have begun to sour on Republican Sen. Susan Colllins, and as a result her approval ratings are down by double-digits over the last two years.
On Sunday, Collins blamed the precipitous drop on unnamed "dark money" groups, instead of her support for the Trump administration and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
"The divisiveness of our country and the unceasing attacks by dark money groups in Maine have clearly had an impact," Collins told Bloomberg in an interview about her political future.
She expressed hope that Mainers will "really focus on the [reelection] race" next year and that "I'll be fine."

She thinks she is Margaret Chase Smith,.. but a far far cry from Senator Margaret Smith.
