New York Times/Siena poll shows Platner and Collins tied in Maine Senate race.
A New York Times/Press Herald/Siena poll conducted June 19-26 shows Democratic challenger Graham Platner leading incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins 49% to 47% among likely Maine voters, within the 4.8-point margin of error. The poll found that 76% of voters are aware of controversies surrounding Platner, including a tattoo with Nazi overtones and allegations about his treatment of women, while 54% worry Collins would support Trump's policies too much if reelected.

The split, in one line
The right spotlights Platner's Nazi tattoo and treatment of women while noting abortion ranks dead last for Maine voters. The center-left leads with voter wariness of Platner despite Democratic preferences, and Collins' moral advantage.
