Bad News for Dems With Latest Polling Data on

As we reported, Democrats went all in for their nominee for the Senate in Maine, Graham Platner, despite all the vile issues that have been revealed about him. 

Why did they do that? He had been polling about 9 factors forward of Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) about two weeks in the past. 

About a week in the past, we reported how the data indicated that the margin was closing, despite Democrats’ protestations that people did not care about the issues being revealed about Platner. An inside ballot for Platner even indicated the numbers had closed – to Platner just main by 4, when an inside ballot usually tends toward the individual for whom they’re polling. This is with the polling usually underestimating Collins by a lot for the past three elections. 

Then, President Donald Trump endorsed Collins, despite noting that they had variations on coverage, and he blasted Platner.

Now, Quantus Insights has some new numbers in on the race, and the Democrats who threw in with Platner have to be kicking themselves. They debased themselves to assist him, and his lead has basically disappeared. It’s now a statistical tie. 

NEW QUANTUS INSIGHTS POLL | June 12, 2026

It has Platner at 46 p.c, Collins at 45, with 7 p.c undecided, and 2 p.c other. 

Notice that in the generic congressional poll, Democrats are up by 10. So Platner is doing worse than the generic Democrat, and Collins is doing better than the generic Republican. So a lot for Democrats attaching their hopes to him. 

Co-founder of Quantus, Jason Corley, confirmed how a lot it had closed, and he thinks it is now a “toss-up.” 

Notable motion in Maine since our March ballot.

Collins has climbed. Platner has fallen. What was a clear Platner benefit has now tightened into a pure toss-up heading into the summer season months.

This is one of the most aggressive Senate races on the board. https://t.co/8YfhSBwktp

He could also be being sort. 

As we famous, this is before you rely in the 8 or so factors the polls have a tendency to underestimate Collins. If that holds in this election, as it has in the last three elections, she could also be up by a honest quantity. 

There’s seemingly more to drop on Platner, and they have not even absolutely directed their assaults at him, which they’ll do, now that he’s past the first.

You have to suppose that it’s most likely lean R now, given Collins’ historical past of resilience in elections. Democrats had been clearly mistaken – character and Nazi tattoos do imply one thing to the citizens.
