GOP Sen. Susan Collins lags in Maine, where voters overwhelmingly prefer a delay in filling RBG's se
Veteran GOP Sen. Susan Collins remains in a tight contest with her Democratic challenger in the closely watched Maine Senate race, according to a poll released Friday by Colby College in Waterville, Maine.
Democrat Sara Gideon, the speaker of the Maine House, leads with 45% among the 847 registered voters who were asked for their first ranked choice.
Collins was viewed as the first choice for 41% of the respondents with 6% indicating they remain undecided with a 3.4% margin of error.
"It's tight, and it's going to be nip and tuck right down to the wire if you ask me," said Dan Shea, a Colby College political science professor and lead researcher on the poll.
But the survey found a dramatic partisan gulf on the question of giving President Donald Trump's third nomination to the high court a vote in the Senate.
