ME-Sen: New PPP Poll Shows Majority Of Maine Voters Are "Very Concerned" With Sen. Susan Collins (R) [1]

Here’s the latest news today out of Maine courtesy of PPP’s latest poll:
PPP’s new Maine poll finds that voters in the state- across party lines- have concerns with Susan Collins.
Her approval rating is only 24%, with 61% of voters disapproving of her. She faces strong disapproval from both Harris (17/71) and Trump (30/52) voters alike.
Trump is unpopular in Maine too, with 44% of voters approving of him to 52% who disapprove. A big part of Collins’ problem is that when it comes to Trump her approach is just antagonizing everyone. 81% of Harris voters think she votes with Trump too often…and 73% of Trump voters think she doesn’t vote with Trump often enough. Only 10% think she’s striking the right balance.
The feeling from both sides that Collins is letting them down leads to a rare poll finding in these polarized times where voters across the aisle agree about something. Asked whether they consider Collins to be a strong or weak leader majorities of both Harris (19/66) and Trump (28/51) voters call her weak. Overall just 24% characterize her as strong with 59% calling her weak.
These findings are putting Collins in a position where she could be vulnerable next year both in a Republican primary and the general election. 69% of Trump voters think Collins is ‘too liberal,’ presumably leaving her vulnerable to a challenge from someone to her right. But 69% of Harris voters think she’s ’too conservative,’ suggesting she may also struggle to win the sort of crossover support from Democratic leaning voters that’s fueled her success in the past.
