New York Times/Siena poll shows Susan Collins leading Troy Jackson in Maine Senate race
A New York Times/Siena College poll found Republican Senator Susan Collins leading Democratic challenger Troy Jackson 49% to 46% among likely Maine voters. The poll was conducted mostly before a ProPublica report on an FBI investigation into allegations involving Collins and a defense contractor, which Collins's office denied. The poll also surveyed Senate races in Michigan and New Hampshire, where Democrats held leads.
