Early polling out of ME suggests a tie...

Doesn't matter who is the candidate at this point, because vs. Collins, they all end up within the margin of error.

This is a good sign. It indicates to me that Graham Platner's scandals and withdrawal has not injured the standing of the opposition to Susan Collins, which is my preferred motivating force.

It certainly was a punch that left me reeling, but I'm not convinced the state isn't winnable. Or perhaps more accurately, that Susan Collins is certain to win.

And probably of low quality and having a tendency to show a horserace. They're also hypothetical until the Dem nominee is selected. And *still*, the Dems are neck-and-neck with a 30-year incumbent. Sounds like pretty good news.
