Not looking good at all!
Gideon leads Collins by 12 points in Maine Senate race: poll
By Tal Axelrod - 09/16/20 02:52 PM EDT
Maine Democrat Sara Gideon has opened up a 12-point lead over Sen. Susan Collins (R) in a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday in Maine’s marquee Senate race.
Gideon, who currently serves as the Speaker of the Maine House, garners the support of 54 percent of likely Maine voters in the poll, compared with 42 percent for Collins, who is seeking her fifth term.
excerpt:
Mainers appear to be looking to bolster Democrats’ power in Washington, with likely voters there saying by a 53 percent to 40 percent margin that they would want to see the Democratic Party win control of the Senate.
Collins’s seat is one of Democrats’ top flip targets heading into Election Day in November as the party tries to gain control of the upper chamber. Democrats must flip a net of three or four seats to win the Senate, depending on which party wins the White House.
The Quinnipiac University poll surveyed 1,183 likely voters in Maine from Sept. 10 to Sept. 14 and has a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points.

The Dems' taking the Senate has far more serious ramifications than them taking the White House. And if they take both, kiss you 401(k) goodbye.

Unless she grabs ahold of Mr. Trump's coattails and hangs on tight, Collins looks like a goner this time around.
Even he may not be able to help her pull through this one.
