Maine and Michigan Senate races are neck and neck, CNN polls find
The poll shows both races within the margin of error as voter concerns over the economy and Trump shape the contests.
- New CNN polls reveal tight Senate contests in Maine and Michigan with no clear leader. Maine voters back Democratic nominee Troy Jackson 48% to 45% over incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, while Michigan voters split between Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed at 47% and former GOP congressman Mike Rogers at 44%.
- Economic concerns and dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump drive the political environment in both states. Democrats in Maine and Michigan are far more motivated to vote than their Republican counterparts, mirroring nationwide trends in this year's midterm polling.
- Michigan voters focus on candidate positions, with 50% viewing El-Sayed as too liberal compared to 42% who find Rogers too conservative. Roughly two-thirds think El-Sayed would change things in Washington, while just 20% say the same of Rogers.
- Maine's race centers on broadly negative views of Collins and Trump. Nearly two-thirds of voters feel negatively about the 2022 Dobbs ruling, a factor benefiting Jackson as voters grapple with Collins' past support for Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
- A 53% majority cite party control of the Senate as their top voting consideration. With roughly 18% of likely voters still persuadable or undecided, the final outcomes in both states remain subject to shifting voter sentiment.
