Despite inflammatory comments, Platner holds 9-point lead over Collins in new poll
The progressive candidate backed by Bernie Sanders holds 51%-42% edge over the six-term Republican senator
By Paul Steinhauser Fox News
Published May 28, 2026 11:27am EDT

The intense media scrutiny and Republican attacks facing Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine over his controversial and inflammatory past online comments and his now-removed but well-publicized tattoo on his chest that resembled a Nazi symbol don't appear to be slowing him down.

A new public opinion poll shows Platner holding an upper single-digit lead over longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine in a race that is among a handful that will likely decide if the GOP holds its slim 53-47 majority in the Senate in this year's midterm elections.

Platner, a progressive candidate backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, stands at 51% support among likely Maine voters, with Collins at 42%, in a Pine Tree State poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire. Six percent of respondents were undecided, with 2% backing other candidates.

The survey is the latest public opinion poll to indicate Platner, an oyster farmer and Army and Marine veteran who served in combat in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, leading Collins, a moderate Republican who is seeking a sixth six-year term in the Senate representing left-leaning Maine.

People really do not appreciate how insane it is that Platner went to work for Blackwater—which had to change its name because it was so reviled due to scandal—and now is trying to pass himself off as some poor kid who was sent off to war.

Ok, but Collins is a RINO (though the article calls her a moderate) and she normally votes along with the DEMS anyways.  If she loses her seat, that's one RINO down. What's really the downside, other than Maine electing a liberal pervert??

Collins can be counted on 50% of the time.  Herr Platner can be counted on 0% of the time.
