Fox News Poll Shows Tight Race Between Susan Collins and Troy Jackson in Maine Senate Contest
The Fox News poll surveyed 1,514 likely voters and found Collins and Jackson each at 49%, making the Senate race a toss-up.
On Thursday, a Fox News poll found Republican Sen. Susan Collins and Democrat Troy Jackson tied at 49% each among 1,514 likely Maine voters, reflecting a dead heat in the U.S. Senate race.
Decision Desk HQ gives Jackson a 56% chance of winning this toss-up race that will help determine Senate control; Jackson replaced Graham Platner as the Democratic nominee in July.
President Donald Trump's 37% approval rating creates political headwinds for Collins, who seeks a sixth term, yet she leads independent voters by 13 points in the Fox poll.
Previous surveys from Suffolk University and Rasmussen Reports showed Jackson leading by 2 points, while Collins has not led a public poll since late September.
With Election Day less than two weeks away, most October polls indicate a tight Maine Senate race as both campaigns enter the final stretch of the contest.
