Dems Sold Their Souls for Platner, but They're Not Going to Like This New Shock Data

Democrats have gone all in for their presumptive nominee for the Senate in Maine, Graham Platner, despite all the vile things that have been revealed about him.
Why have they done that? He was polling nine points ahead of the incumbent, Republican candidate, Susan Collins, about a week ago. Translation? Who cares about the Nazi tattoo and all the other problematic issues if he can help us get back control of the Senate?
But if they were staking their case on that, they may have been deluding themselves. Collins has been in office a while, and she's been very resilient. There's been a history of bad polling against her, and she's tended to outperform the polls and win.
Not to mention, now people have been paying more attention to Platner's issues with the latest revelations about the sexually explicit texts with other women, CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten explained. For people thinking the scandals aren't hitting, the latest data may "indicate otherwise," Enten explained.
Enten also looked at the prediction markets, noting that Platner's chances of winning had dropped significantly to what he assessed was now within the margin of error. He also detailed how the polls had underestimated Collins in her last three elections: by 8, 8, and 12 points.
